Default Mod questions

My 02 WS6 has just a lid and muffler, at this time. (335rwhp/353rwtq runs 12.8@110) Would anyone recommend a set of roller rockers for the next mod? I've also thought about maybe an underdrive for the crank. A TB is also in the maybe's... any input for some mods to do next, or what you guys have that work good. Thanks in advance.

i would skip the rockers for now. asp pullies gained me 1.2 tenths. the thunderracing hiflo mass air ends gained me .2 tenths. these two mods do work and dont cost much. a4 a stall would be big. m6 4.10's would be big(no sticky tires lonching real hard for m6) goodluck to ya.

I wouldn't get the rocker arms unless you are not planning on doing a cam (I'm assuming you meant 1.8 arms..?).

Headers are really nice on these engines & will allow any future mods that you do ... to see their full potential.

Don't bother with shortys or mid lengths. They are not worth the minor gains you get considering the cost & time spent installing. Long Tubes are the way to go. There are basically 4 or 5 designs to choose from ......

Here's one of them:
