Totally unfamiliar with the engine in the Iroc since it is pre LS1/LT1. And this forum is dedicated to the LS1. But, I will take a shot at your question. If ratio is the same then why would you see an increase in performance? Are you going from stamped to roller tip. I wouldn't expect a performance increase here either if the ratio is the same. What you would see is better wear of the valve guides and lower engine temps from less friction.
