I Tried it and dont waste your money and time <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" /> I got the Kit with the SLP Valve spring and they are JUNK!!!Ever since the install I have had Knock Retard City.I am Now going to go with LS6 springs.For those of you guys that have tried the 1.85 rocker kit Did you get KR from it?
Please let me know..
Thanx Scott

I dont understand hopw you associate springs with knock retard? Could your tuning be too agressive for this extra lift and duration under the curve?
Is there extreme valvetrain noise with this kit that could be causing your kR?

Yes it is extremely noisy.I was told this is due to the Rocker arms not Springs? I dont really know <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Were you instructed to use different length pushrods?How long have you driven it to see if it quiets down? Are pushrods rubbing heads from 1.85 ratio bringing pushrod closer to trunion bearing?
