no tr has it on next to their cam drescription when u gona go pick one it says 1.8 rockers are not recomended with the cam bacause of the ramp rate. so i never had it on my car but if the manufacture has that warning on their site then y take my chances and not listen. also like i said before that weiand intake is crap i had it on my car, and i swear no lie every single runner would leak u have to double gasket them to help out the leaking but even then the heat soke is horrible and its just a bad design overall.

yea i believe that bc after one pull on the dyno it developed a vacume leak, so i am going to switch it out with either a ls6, or the 78mm fast and try going to a 1.7 roller rocker and mabye getting bigger fuel injectors. i am going to call comp cams tech line in the morning and see what they reccomend as far as rocker ratio goes.....

RX had nothing to do with the install. that was all me. just the numbers put down on their dyno.

my dyno results dont make me want to walk infront of incoming traffic.
