I'm installing 1.9 rockers and 105# springs next week on the gtp. Is their any tips or hints to help get through the install any eaiser cause all of those wires look pretty intimidating, I made sure i had lots of zip ties on me.
 


which wires are intimidating to you? ALL plugs are clearly marked with different colors and no two plugs are the same, you can NOT get them messed up.
 
Ya, its not bad at all. I didnt use zip ties and Im not sure why you would need them. If your worried, take a few pics before you start or make notes. Take your time. It took me 6 hours and this was taking my time, cleaning and painting valve covers and stopping for a cold one here and there. Once you have the rocker covers off, clean them and put some small dabs (about 6 evenly spaced)of gasket sealent around the rocker cover and install your gaskets. That way when you put the rocker covers back on, your gaskets will stay put. Nothing tricky, just a matter of removing stuff and putting it back together. Good luck, my old back was broke after doing this install.
 


cant wait to see how it turns out. wanna do these on my car after some more modding. is it a good idea to get new valves while doing this job as well?
 




Rockers are just a cheaper alternative to a cam...they make somewhere close to a cam but not quite as much...I know for a fact I've been beat by a intercooled and rockered car with my XP Setup and that thing was stupid fast...

And yeah when I had my 1.84's vs. stock I could really feel a difference around 4-5K ;)
 
about the 4k range is when i really start to feel mine. really tho with the rollers it feels like it picks up better at all rpms. im very pleased with mine.
