very true Will. i even did a set of 93 rockers to retrofit them to a 92.
i took a set of 93 rockers, redrilled the bolt hole from 5/16" to 3/8" and did the same with the pedestals. then went to napa and got 12 3'8" x 2" grade 8 allen socket head bolts. they are a direct fit now and have the roller fulcrum that the 92 doesnt

smaaler than a 2" may not be possible. you still have the shaft size and the nut size to limit you. plus, without opeing up the heads, intake and exhaust, it will kinda be like constapating your motor with air. all that air and no where to go.as far as a cam, lift and duration is the key to getting all that air into the cylinders. the more you open your motor up and allow it to breath. a smaller pulley on the Sc will be much more efficent. if the air has somewhere to go, it wont build the heat as they do now. plus, if it is moving air freely, it will give you some power due to the fact the
SC isnt working so hard to force it into the cylinders.

the roller tip is a very small gain will not be noticable. i was looking into full roller rockers due to the fact i have a 92 with 3/8" studs. 93-94 can go with small block ford 1.6 or 1.7 pedestal rockers because they are a true pedestal mount like the 93-95 3.8 and also use 5/16" bolts. you just need to use custom length pushrods. with all the porting in the world, you still will be limited with your cam. a stock cam opens the intake valve a total of .403" and from the time it open till it closes is 181 degrees of crank rotation.
with the cam i had reground. it opens a total of .478" and 218 degrees of crank rotation.
think of it this way ok. take a bucket and put it in your sink. first turn the water on 3/4 of the way and for 1 min. and measure it. next, do the same but turn it on full and for 1 min 30 secs. which will have the most water in the bucket. this goes hand in hand with how lift and duration builds power in a motor.

not really easier, lol you dont have to pull the rad on a 3800, just the ps motor mount and jack it up as high as you can. . it can defintly be done in the car. i just cant wait till april and see what numbers this beast turns out. im just hoping for somewhere in the 12'*. i put my car specs in to a new program i got called dragstrip2000. and i also have dyno2000. imported my engine data from that and used my gear, co. od drag, frontal area, tires, ect. and it came up with a 12.38 at 110mph with a 50 shot of nitrous. launching at 2000 and shifting at 5775. will cross the 1/4 at 5400 rpms.
god i cant wait.
