Rocker Arms

Does enybody know what the stock rocker arm ratio is. I was wondering if it would be worth getting the 1.52 roller tip ones for 110dollars or so.

I'll take this one...
stock is 1.52 ( in a perfect world)
actual ratios may vary. the after market claim to have all their rockers at a fixed standard. so all the rockers at a certain ratio are actually at that certain ratio. use the search under rockers in v6 & you will learn more about this. there are those $319 1.52 or 1.6 ratio full roller rockers if you feel so inclined.

Your cylinder heads need to be modified for the 1.6. I went with the 1.52 with the compucam. They are noisey and the power increase was very little. Save your money dont listen to people who havent done it.

For $110, I'd say it's worth it...
