Cam, and rocker? I'm getting ready to buy MTI's C2 cam and was wondering if the new 1.85 rockers would fit with the stock heads, with 7.4000 crome-moly rods,918 springs and titanium keepers. And how much power do yall think it will gain. Car is completly stock.

Re: Cam, and rocker? If the rockers would work, I'd really look at some different springs. With a 1.85 rocker ratio on top of a .581 lift, you're asking for a spring to pop, IMO. On stock heads, you're really not gonna see that much gain in flow over ~.550-.560 lift. Personally, I think it's overkill on stock heads but if you're dead set on it, research the P/V issues and see where it leaves you. It's gonna be close, that's for sure.
I agree with what Chris said.

Re: Cam, and rocker? I wa splanning on doing the heads when I get back from a deployment. But the cam is only $280, and I'm trying to figure what will work with this cam on stock heads for about 4-6 months. Or until I have the money for head work or a new set of heads. I had a friend of mine tell me to use the stock rockers and just do springs and rods. Waht should I go with?

Re: Cam, and rocker? ur lift would be .632"... i don't think the biggest, most powerful cars r running that much lift... the standard .581" lift is more than enough...
at you
