most are going to tell you to stick with the 1.7's and add the extra lift in the cam. Imo 1.85 rockers are a decent mod for a guy lookin to get a little extra power across the curve from a stock camshaft. Comp makes a few low lift cams designed for high ratio rockers awell, but most aftermarket cams today have really aggressive lobes and anything higher than a 1.7 is not recommended.

Yeah, i know all that, just checking to see if anybody has used these. I have the infamous hotcam in my ride and dont want to do another cam swap anytime soon. Once this motor give im going to get bigger cubes but for the meantime i was wanting to bump the lift a little.

Those are the stud mount conversions right?

Rocker ratio debate aside, the cool thing about these is that it's easier to set proper rocker geometry since the rocker doesn't rest on a stand. Just determine the correct length pushrod. Probably not a big deal with the Hotcam, though, since it has relatively low lift, but a nice feature for a higher lift cam.

If you are planning on doing more mods later I would just save the money from the rockers for engine.
