Default Jessel 2.1 ratio rockers

What do you think of these. Would this just be too much. I want atleast 1.8 on my new head set up but i want the best i can get also. Also i will be adding more cubes later on so i need to plan for that.

Stick with 1.7 and get whatever cam you want. Why change rocker ratios when you'll be changing the cam/heads/possibly shortblock anyways?

There isn't a point to changing the ratio when everybody is grinding quite nice cam's with super steep ramps that work well with our 1.7's. If you want more lift, just have the cam made with more lift.

go with jmX's advice. Stick with the 1.7's and get the cam ground to your specs. You can get more lift/lobe, etc. than you can "use" anyway with 1.7's.

I would just go with the 1.7's and get your cam ground to your specs.It will be plenty good for your setup. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />
