I was thinking about the steel ones. With the heavier weight of the steel ones there is less of a chance of valve float. Decisions, decisions...

I have never heard of machining the pushrods before. I have heard of grinding the edges of the rocker so they do not hit the head or valve cover. I haven't contacted them yet about clearance issues. I know ZZP have rockers that do not need any modification to put on. I have thier 1.9's on my GTP and never had a problem with them. I know Yella Terras fit with no problems. Honestly, I am not sure which way I am going to go. I need my PCM / TCM back and want a catless DP first before I get any rockers. I also wish I could get my hands on a set of factory exhaust manifolds and intake so I can port them. I already did a mild port to my throttle body. My goal is to get the car into the high 12's with no power adder. We shall see...

Yella Terra's come in 1.7 and 1.8 full roller. http://intense-racing.com/Merchant2/...LSx_Valvetrain

Touche' Derek....lol... I don't know I do pretty good at the drags. My very first run with my old GP GT with no mods was a 15.2 with a 2.2 60'. That isn't bad for just a plain jane N/A V-6.
