1.6 Roller Rockers--Should I Get Them?
With my mods and times below would the 1.6 rollers do much for me? I know, why not just get a cam but heads/cam/intake are probably about 2 years away.
How much improvement would the rockers give me in the quarter mile?
I usually run 13.9-14.0 but would like to be consistently high 13's (at least) for now.
Thanks!
Bob

you won't see a lot of advantage from 1.6 rockers. a little and when used with other mods will add up but for the cost i'd save the money for cam, intake, heads.

1.6s will probably give you another 10 HP or .1 sec in the 1/4...maybe .2 but not much more. Also, if your engine has a bit of miles on it, you really should change the valve springs too. On a higher mileage engine, 1.6s could be the kiss of death for your stock springs. Better to be safe than sorry.
