Re: rockers

yes, slight negative effects (nothing to worry about)
It would be more beneficial to buy a cam

Re: rockers

I found this part really interesting:

If we would compare two cams of equal duration and lobe positions, but one with more lift on the lobe and 1.5 ratio rockers, and the second with less lobe lift but higher ratio rockers to equal the lift of the first, the milder lift cam with higher lift rockers will always provide more performance (again providing the cam is not to large to begin with).

Re: rockers

Yes, rockers are worth it because they are very easy to swap and easily provide 10-15 rwhp (assuming you atleast put a 1.8 rocker)

A cam is a VERY demanding install and will cost more than a set of rockers also after you buy all of the supporting valvetrain components, but it does provide more power than the rockers.

Its a give-take thing.
