I ran 1.8 rockers early after buying my LS1. Waste of money in my opinion, especially when you factor in new valve springs and possibly pushrods. What year is the car? There may be better ways to get power than the rockers.

Jegs? LOL. I always try to skimp out on a valve train items. That way when it breaks, I can go on LS1 tech and talk/type trash about their junky products. LOL If you buy them, save your self some time by starting a "don't buy "xxxxxx" parts " thread while you are waiting for them to be delivered.

Very helpful....

Just getting rockers is not worth it. Buying rockers are to support other mods like springs and cam. The gains with a 1.8 aren't going to be very noticeable.
