I run these rockers in my 2002 SS, Installed them with SLP LT (wgich have been replaced with Kooks) and tuned the car at SLP's Dyno facility. The car gained 60 rwhp and 50 rwtq. How much is attributed to the rockers I am not sure.

I have been wanting to try the 1.8 ratio rockers with 918's with my Hotcam. Everyone says just replace the cam instead but I like the easy ramp rates and would just like to see the dyno gains with this setup. It's good to try something different sometimes

I Like That Idea. Should Make Good Power With Hot Cam!!!!!!!! Wonder If Stock Lengh Pushrods Would Be Ok?

"Everyone says just replace the cam instead but I like the easy ramp rates"

By installing higher ratio rocker arms you are effectively increasing the ramp rate as far as the valve springs are concerned. Think about it, you're going to a higher lift but getting there in the same amount of time.

I just ordered a Comp 216/220 to go with the 1.85's, I am a fan of lift but not real long durations, mainly because I don't want hugh power at 6300 rpm when my A4 shifts at 6200. The hugh cams don't really fit my driving, I like to be going 30 mph and then have nice low end push.1.85's are a good mod but you have to have a plan with them, you won't ever be able to run a really hot cam with the rockers and make hugh power at 6300 rpm. Also they are kinda pricy. I like them, I like the springs SLP sells them with and I feel with the comp 216/220, ported TB and another dyno tune I should get 385 rwhp through stock heads.
