Thread: rockers yay or nay?

i have a 99 gtp i plan on doing full headers soon and im going to be doing the valve cover gaskets since im already there should i put in a higher ratio rocker? is it worth it or just useless i will not be caming this engine

yay

If you're not going the cam route.. Then sure.. Do 1.9s.

It's not gonna net you all that much though. A weeee bit more top end... But not much.

enough to warrant the minimally invasive surgery yes.

if not planning on throwing a stupid cam, sure. if not planning on modding more, dont.

Rockers and meth.. That would be fun enough.

nay

Yes, I was able to tell the difference immediately in the top end after installing 1.9 rockers. Plus it helps lower KR.

I wish I would have went cam... I hardly notice the diff. But I've rode in cammed cars and it was kinda disappointing.

Rockers are easier to demod.

Rockers...


suck.

More air?

Yes. -- If you feel like you can do a cam then do that instead.

I did rockers because my engine isn't getting any younger. (211k)

If your not gonna cam, invest in high ratio rockers

Thuglifesomethingorother just did rockers this weekend. 1.9's. He's thrilled with the difference. Shoot him a pm to ask how he likes them.

Did he do a pulley and headers at the same time too?

I know I did a DP/PEM's at the same time I did 1.84's...and I noticed a difference, but I'm sure everyone would.

Depends on your set up. I was able to get 2* more timing up top from 15-17 with a 3.4 gen5 no IC. I would still my HS1.9s today, with my full size IC if I didn't go cam. I guess it's a hit or miss

Depends on nothing.

I put 1.9's on my car by themselves with a 3.8" stock pulley and it made a hell of a difference. It's like putting only a Gen V on your car. There's a difference.

There is a good difference in the top end and you do make some decent gains more noticeable with pulley drops but if you want to make some serious power don't waste your time and save for the cam. I thought rockers would be good for me, but I'm regretting not doing a cam hence why I will be putting in an xp cam. What's your overall goal for the car?
