high ratio rocker arm ??????
yes it is, it's usually better to get the desired lift from the cam rather than lifters, LS1 cams are spec'd out with 1.7 rocker if you go with a 1.8 you will have more lift and have to make sure your springs can handle it.
I ran Crane 1.8's on my prior setup and am now running their 1.7's. The Cranes will give you more power but you need to be careful on your selection of parts, valve springs, etc.
see i got the cam in my sig, and i didnt want go thru the whole process of doing the cam again till i get more money, i got a friend that will sell me his 1.8 rockers for $100, i was thinking about putting them on, you guys think ill see any gains or will i lose some driveablity,??
what if i just use em on the intake valves, so that ill get more air into the engine? just wondering if it will work, maybe im crazy for thinking this.

Problem is the XE-R ramps are too fast for 1.85 SLP rockers.
