Worth swapping out the rocker arms in my mainly stock 02 bird? Been trying to do some research on them, not sure if they would be a smart move or not. Currently the car just has a cold air intake and free flowing cat-back. Next are headers, but after that it's kinda up in the air. Worthless mod or no?

Yes and no. But, I am going to tell you the No's. ![Happy](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_stretch.gif)
1. Changing the stock geometry even from 1.75 or 1.80-.85 is not the most ideal way to pick up more power.
2. You want more lift? Get a cam. You keep the stock geometry and save 400-600$ on rockers.
3. I'm glad you checked before essentially wasting your money on a set.

thanks, i guess everyone agrees with this. I do plan on going with a cam/head swap. I have no idea what to do when it comes to that, i'm still trying to research. Anyway will the stock rocker arms do with a cam/head swap? or do they need to be changed out eventually? matter on the size cam i'm guessing
