Yup. 1.95.

They don't fit worth a damn without clearancing. Pushrods have to be clearanced as well as the mounting rail and the heads near the rocker tip.

Not really. They're about 40 cars backed up right now. I'll do the tuning at the shop, but thats about it. Shortblock, cam, and heads were done by Westech.

Thanks.

Yup, stock lifter trays. Jesel makes them in 1.7, 1.8, and up.

Yup, solid rollers. Nice lifters IMO. Pretty damn light compared to the stock lifters.

As far as price goes, they are friggin' steep. Very good parts, but they are proud of them. Your best bet is to find a deal of some kind. You can sometimes find them used and have them rebuilt by Jesel. If you want the actual prices, shoot me a PM.

WOAH.... talk about $$$$$$$$. I asked them about a set of 1.7s when I had to return my SS series because they werent adjustable when the advertized them and they quoted me ~$1200

NICE stuff! Now you need clear covers to show them off lol

Sweet rockers and lifters. Just curious why the 1.95 ratio?

We were planning on 1.9, but ended up getting a good deal on some C5R 1.95s.

The cam us a custom grind and lobe by Westech. Since we had to buy rockers anyway, we decided to stay within some lower lift limits on the camshaft and make the rest of the lift up with the rocker ratio. With the rockers, the lift is in the mid .600's.

do these fit under the stock valve cover?
Not even close. We have to clearance the C5R valvecovers to make them work. Not a while lot, but some.

Now if I can just get it back together and in the car. Only thing left to do is size the pushrods. LSX intake came in last Friday, so it all should be ready to go here pretty quick. Now if I can just get time off from work to get it together.

What rockers did you end up going with?

Me too. I have no real idea what to expect. I guess we'll see. Should be fun, regardless.

I ended up using some Comp lifters, with a custom link bar to eliminate the plastic guide tray. I called Jesel about those lifters you have awhile back, and after he said $150 a piece, the conversation was over. I am using the T&D rockers with a 1.7 ratio.

I ended up getting a good deal on them, same with the rockers. They are one hell of a good lifter and will take whatever abuse you throw at them.

What CR did you end up with?

How are the T&D working out for you?

12.25:1 compression. I am thinking of bumping it up to around 13:1 or higher though.

Good old LS6. I plan to go sheetmetal in the fall, or carbed, either one.
