My mods and 1.6 rollers.

Would adding a set of decent 1.6 roller rockers add much more with the 292H cam I have? Right now I only have a set of Comp Cam solid 1.5 rockers.

RS,

Just an OPINION - installing the 1.6:1s on the exhaust side may provide some benefits with a single pattern cam such as yours. There may not be as great a difference with the 1.6 rockers on the intake, however.

Dyno 2000 shows only a 5-6 hp difference 1.5 to 1.6. But roller rockers will give you a few more, I'd say if your spending the money to upgrade to roller rockers go ahead and get teh 1.6's, they're not any more than the 1.5's. But if you were just looking at the increased ratio don't bother.
