Rocker Question What would be the difference if you changed your stock rockers to say 1.8 or a little larger. How does larger rockers affect your horsepower and does it also put more stress on the engine?

We had one car gain 15rwhp on a bone stock internal car for a total of 380rwhp. These were the Harland Sharp 1.8 ratio rockers. The extra ratio adds to the lift and duration of the stock cam esentually acting like a larger cam. It does put a little extra strain on the valvetrain but if you are not changing cams it will work just fine.
