Coming Soon: Higher Ratio Rockers

[gectek]

When are these rockers going to be on sale? Are they going to be full roller rockers.

did you read the first post? Yes they will be a total bolt on full roller, meaning roller fulcrum roller tip, rocker in an extruded alum body. steel pedestal. exactly like stock. no grinding, no special studs, no guideplates, just torque em and forget em.

Is it better to have the lift on the cam, or is it better to have the rocker arms? Pro and cons to either, or does it not matter at all and I wasted a bunch of money on a cam before the rocker arms came out?

You will have more stability with shorter cam and higher ratio rockers. If lift is all you want, then rockers are the way to go.

well that blows......but then again i really don't know what half my cam specs mean so.......

[torq455]

tell us what they are, and we can tell you what they mean.

Im curious if this will cause the idle to change? Like erratic etc.. or will I maintain my semi smooth idle?

i don't have the ICL? but i have these, am i missing anything?

Comp Cams special order roller

230/242 @ .050 duration
280/294 @ .006 duration
.577/.577 lift. 115 LSA

[torq455]

won't change the idle. increasing the duration about 10 degrees @.050 most likely will change your idle

DAMN that's a pretty big cam

you definately don't need any more lift. what springs are you planning on running?

[kwhauck]

comp cams 26986, it says on the site they are good to .650......

[SappySE107]

yeah the springs are fine and you couldn't get anything close to that duration from rockers. 115 LSA? Interesting cam to say the least.

can you elaborate??

[gectek]

boost....needs a larger LSA esp on that big of a dur. even on a 112 that cam would lope. hard. and you would have a problem with blowing the charge out even then. a wider LSA will help keep some bottom end but that is a large cam. the lift is good. those numbers seem to be a little off though. seems kinda strange.

IMHO i would also look at the spring specs for the higher lift. and what red line you are running to. we have springs for sale that will run up to a .600 lift cam, but at a certain point we tell the .600 guys no, because rapping the spring up that high would cause some issues due to the spring pressure not being high enough.

[torq455]

the comp springs are good for that lift he has plus boost? there have been some boost cams that have a 118 LSA. I believe the LS1's cam N/A has a LSA of 117.

I just got spousal approval on these so I hope they come out soon. That way I car purchase before she changes her mind. I think Ill be going with the 1.7's. I want more lower end so if a combination would help me out more let me know.
