Default Help with this set up, what to do?

Ok I got my mods done in my sig. Now I got a chance to buy some Yella Terra 1.8 RR's for cheap. The lift on the cam is a .525 219/228. If I add the 1.8's I will get a lift of .565. Is it worth it or should I just buy an under drive pulley and be done with it? I need some good advice, so all suggestions will be greatly appreciated!!!

i think this cam has a fast ramp ? if it was usin of the 1.8 is not recomended. i never thaught of install a rockers in my mods in my opinun its not worth the hassle

pullys is a good choise go for fluiddampers or ATI you will love it

i see that you have long tube headers ? so why u waste mony on smal cam ?

if drivebilty is what you lookin for go for TR224 114lsa and you will get at least 390 on wheel plus drivin your car everyday ( i had one before make 393hp)

and i think you should think of swap your valve springs with comp single one .

good luck in your mods

if you gonna install that cam any way
so you should not waste mony on rockers it will be useless
the GM hot cam is good cam it has good power all over the rpm so u should make 350 on the wheel with no problem and the GM vavle spring will work great with it. but tuning is the secret find a good tuner on dyno
good luck man wish to hear a good news from you

Well actually the cam has been in brotha. I just was curious and wanted to see if it was beneficial for me to install a set of yella terra 1.8's. I can get them really cheap!!
I am gonna get a tune really soon and I'll PM you when I get it done. Thanks
