i have some money to blow and i dont know if this is worth it, i have aprox. 1700 dollers left and trying to figure out the best way to spend it. any sugestions, heres the kit, go all the way to the bottom of the page.http://www.tbyrne.com/v6catalog.html

you will see little to no gain by going to higher ratio rollers with a stock cam.....since you have that much money left i would reccomend getting an aftermarket cam and a tune. you will be very happy with the result that way.

Didn't you already ask about this kit about a week or two ago??? We told you what we think, and for the most part, these rockers are virtually USELESS without some other upgrade being done first, like a cam, pushrods, lifters, maybe some p&p intakes....something to compliment it. Rockers by themselves are going to have minimal gains for the money being sent.

MAKE SURE YOU READ THIS TIME!! ty.

I picked up .3 with rockers alone in my L36 GP. FWIW.

I still recommend the cam though. :D

z28...
ok, suggestion:

hold onto that money a bit longer. put in some real time here on these boards. search, find topics, search some more. go backs months and even years in your searches. Start a log with WORD or something and copy/paste. Start orgainzing your browser favorits into topic folders. search and read some more. ALSO...don't forget to visit the member websits. There are some people here with VERY informative websites...not just showing what color car they have but very informative. Viper has a great site, I have lots of info on my site. There is a lot to be learned just by checking out what we are doing.

I would rather have a Super Charger than a cam. Once costs more money but the other requires gutting a perfectly good motor. One is permanant the other can be easily taken off.

good luck. g

(edit) Hey, I just looked at your car site. I see people responding to your questions as if you havent done anything to your car yet. the only 'basic' thing I don't see is headers. you do have 3 inch from the cat though. you know, even without the NO2 high lift rockers do make a difference. with your NO2 going even more so. I would stick with the 75 shot and upgrade the valvetrain. you know what happens when people start messing around above 75shots right? What will giong from 75 to 100 give you? what will 20% more valve lift give you?
:D

(if you do go for rockers then get the intense 3rd gen 1.9 aluminum roller rockers and a set of LS6 medium load valve springs. it is the way to go as far as high lift rockers.)
