  • New 3.8 rocker arm installation

    I just got the May 2003 issue of GM High Tech Performance and immediately was drawn to the article which tested SLP's new rocker arms for the 3800. Needless to say i almost crapped my pants, but are these things difficult to install? or should i have a pro do it for me? (i havent bought them yet, btw... but plan on it soon due to the 11 hp they dynoed on a 96 3.8...) thanks!

    I seen that article also, When I seen that a 97' camaro 3.8 M5 only had 189 hp or what ever before the install and the guy had headers and intake I almost died! WTF? Anyways, after the install it should a hp gain of 9 rwhp. Thats pretty good but not for the price! 549.99 for some focking 1.8 ration rocker arms. I would get a pro.

      Actualy thats pretty good for just headers and intake on a v6. I mean we only have between 160-170 hp stock at the wheels so a 19-29 rwhp from just headers and intake is excellent.

        they aren't hard to install. You can get rockers from zzp or intense for less money and they are better (more lift). Check out clubgp.com. There is a ton of information there.
