Valvetrain questions, please help me!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I really dont want to change the cam, but i still want to make more power than a stock Z06 with bolt ons. I was wondering if adding rocker arms helps? i am newb and dont know anythign about rocker arms, all i know is that they will increase lift and thus increase power. questions:

1-Are there any adverse effect of changing to 1.8 or 1.85 rockers?
2- What springs will ineed to go with?
3- how high will i rev the car? 200-300 rpm over stock is what i am looking for
4- Is jesel the best out there? thats what i heard
5- what else do i need or should change?
6- power changes?

car:full bolt ons 2002 Z06

thanks

Just go with the cam. Keep stock rockers and lifters. You will be glad that you did!

going to 1.85 rockers don"t give you much more lift ,besides most ls1 or ls6 heads don"t flow more at .600 than .550.Go with new cam!!
