Will I notice a difference using 1.6 rockers?
My cam is 206/210 duration. 450/480 lift and 112 degree seperation. 1.6 would give me a 480/512 lift. would i notice this?

I put them on my car I went with roller rockers as well.It seemed to improve it a little. but sometimes I think it's more in my head then any thing.To be honest it seems the more people are going by way of (8)1.5
(8)1.6 which is what I wanted to do but I could find a set of self aligning narrowbody centerbolt split like that.And I was about to buy sets of each at $300 buck a set.If your firmalary with TRAXION on this site I believe he has 1.5-1.6.Maybe you could drop him a line and see how he went about 8 of each

I would assume it means putting 1.6 on intake 1.5 on exhaust, or the other way around. I guess it just depends on what kind of lift you want.
edit.. also, if your heads do not support lift over .510 or something, and the lift is already .460 .480, you could put the higher ratio on intake and be well below, while putting the higher ratio rockers on the exhaust would require head work. Just an example.
