We're all nuts! Back on topic.
What is the advantage of changing out the rockers? I'll be looking at the FWI for myself here soon.

A bit more power off the line, alot more power up high.
Basically, more valve lift=More air/fuel to the cylinder=more power.

A cam does the job better, with more duration instead of more lift, but they're also more expensive.

Which is why it'* my next plan of attack, changing my rockers so I can at least keep the SSEi in my view.
