Considering Rockers In The Future
I'm considering getting rockers for Big Bertha in the future and I wanted to have some reference materials to refer to. I know many had posted info about those but I'm unsure because some say one thing and some say another, I thought it would be good for the admins to take this thread and convert it into an article for TECHINFO.
I have a L36. I don't want to go maniac on the motor, just some hp increases, subtle but increased.
I cannot find a definite answer or one that I actually understand. What benefits do rockers bring?
I'm assuming if I don't want to mod the hell out of my car, 1.80'* will suffice.
Am I correct?

with the rockers you will need a good intake (CAI/FWI) and a good flowing exhaust, you can keep the stock muffler, and a stock cat will work but its recommended to get a hoigh flow cat, to help out the increase in air in and out

1.8'* would give you about 10hp at the wheel. 1.9'* would give you about 15. 1.9'* would require stronger springs, 1.8'* can be used with stock. Both ratios would benefit from higher shift points.

Just out of curiosity, with my L27 [& the mods that I've got], do ya think I'd be better off getting a set of PEMs or a set of 1.8 rockers?...In other words, which would give me more bang for the buck?....I know that doing both would be ideal, but if I had to choose, which should I do first?...

www.seriesoneperfromance.com
look around there
Series I flow better than the Series II stock for stock
and you can get the YT 1.72 rockers from Dr.Jay

I WILL do a before and after video. Thats before the PCM. I think even w/ out the PCM it will make a noticable difference. dbtk2 is VERY knowlageable in the ser2 L67 world. You may not have a L67 but you still have a Ser 2. I just want you to spend the least possible for the biggest gain possible.

That'* odd....I was under the impression that it was possible to get a PEM for a Series 1:

and besides, I honestly don't know what ratio the stock rockers are in my '93 L27 , so I couldn't even begin to decide what my rocker options might be :?...
