Just ordered my 1.6 rockers. I KNOW SOMEONE HAS THESE THINGS!!!

I'm getting them for my 350. Its basicly a TPI motor with a full exhaust but without the TPI. I run a carb, upgraded intake, adn a few bolt ons. How are these 1.6 rockers going to respond? Should I expect 5 hp?

Better get your butt-dyno calibrated, otherwise you'll get false readings (read as in none). But at the track you should see a tiny amount difference. Seriously, yes average HP increase is 5hp.

You should see a decent power gain if you are still running the stock cam, they need all the help they can get....I have a Comp cam for sale that would work great in there.
