Rocker arms

If I got some rocker arms without getting the cam how much HP would I get? A good gain or not really? Thanks!

From what I've read and heard, going from the stock ratio to 1.6s will make a difference in power that you should be able to feel.

If you go with 1.6 rockers, get roller rockers. Roller rockers help reduce friction and really help you in the higher RPMs.

My opinion is they are worth it.But you probably won't feel a big difference.Every little thing helps.Look at it this way......when you do get a cam atleast you will have the rockers already .

Syxxgunnar@aol.com had 1.6's put in with out a cam and new valve springs and it was a huge mistake. Email him and he will tell ya without new valve springs at the same time you will suffer, at least in his case his car was noticably different in a bad way...
