i've heard of them but not for the ls1. stock 1.7 ratio rockers wont gain you much if anything. a higher ratio rocker will net you a degree or two of added duration and lift depending on ratio at the valve.

yea but with the cam i got is not sopose to be a good i dead to go to a 1.8 ratio. so i guess i'll just replace with 1.7 and go for better built quality and stronger stuff instead of more power.
