    Re: First cam install, planning it out.

    you should just buy HP tuners and a wide band if their going to charge that much, as for rockers , ours are around 1.66 so pretty close to 1.7 the only good benefit would be the shaft mounted and alittle more lift.

        I don't really know about a turbo build, but from what I've read about NA cams, it's a good idea to upgrade rockers too.

          I thought you just didn't need the tensioner for the double roller to work? Not sure about bad chains though. Now I'm concerned and I'm told I do need a double roller for the purposes of running higher rpm. Who else has double rollers?

            The bad batch of double rollers are from a few years back, they're all squared away now. You do need to mill the cover of the chain so it'll fit.

              I see. Does anyone sell covers or have specs for how the cover should be milled?

                and either disable or remove the balance shaft. oil pump cover needs to be milled down. I have a double on mine right now, it was pretty snug.

                  You will need a milled oil pump cover to clear the double roller; zzperformance sells them. It does not reuse the balance shaft or the tensioner. You can pull the shaft out and thread a plug in the hole in the back of the block, and you will shed about 4lbs or so.
