They are all turbo cars. I don't want to clutter Jake's thread with off topic information so I sent you a PM.

It's okay. I realize the GM rockers would be fine. Just wondering if the added benefit of the roller rockers would gain me anything. Guess I can always try the stockers and then switch to the YTs.

I have roller rockers. I only have them bc of my stupid brass guides in my afr heads. Next time I have the heads off I will be going to the medal guides and upgraded stock rockers.

And you believe that? Add a K&N for an extra 20hp and granatelli spark plug wires for another 18hp.

I believe it about as well as a Meziere EWP adding 5HP.

The only reason I entertain it is because folks like Tony Mamo claim the friction losses are worth that much. My question is - is it true? Anybody ever actually looked at an A-B comparo of a setup with that being the only change? And not talking about a valvetrain showing massive valve float that's out of control.

I didn't notice any power difference when I switched back to stock rockers from YT 6645s, except my valve train is quieter now.

I thought I made it clear by saying notice, and I made the change because of reliability, not power concerns.

More goodies coming in on a Saturday!

These are Bosch EV14s 52lbs flow-matched from FIC. Awesome injectors that have an excellent spray pattern for our cars. And buying from FIC, they will send me the HPTuners file on it for ease of tune.

They are LS2 length to fit perfectly the FAST 102 and stock LS2 rail. They come with the EV6 to EV1 adapters so they are pretty much a straight plug and play for the FAST 102 in an LS1.
