MS4 and 1.8 rockers?
Is this possible? I am not sure how to find out other then to ask you smart people. I am going to be doing a few more things to the car and I think that is one of the things on the list if I am able to do that. I am thinking about putting in rockers, injectors, intake and throttle body when I sell my n2O setup.

the ms4 would have near .700" lift with 1.8 rockers. i think you would be much better staying with 1.7 rockers because xer and lsk lobes are pretty agressive and with 1.8 rockers i don't think your springs will last very long,and most of the springs everyone uses are good only to .660" lift or so unless you get one designed for a sr cam.

Short answer.. No.
Long answer.. Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo .
You could do it with different springs and solid lifters, but to run the spring pressure needed to control that valve with that set-up, you're going to collapse any hydraulic lifter.

No way. This would not be a good idea at all. And even if the valvetrain could handle it what gains would there be in using a 1.8 over a 1.7? little to none. Stay with 1.7's or use a different cam.

is there a way to get a rocket ratio at like, lets say 1.75 : 1? Ive been thinking about this, and did the math and found out that if i do that ratio to my 233/239 cam itll be like a .612/.621 lift witch would be awsome. Not saying im going to do this but could i ever get that ratio and if i did, would it be a huge stress on the valvetrain

humm i figured that just when i do upgrade them, to be like, reliable, ill also put in the lifters and then itll be a pretty sick lift thats safe. Again this isnt going to happen for a long while. Suspension must be done to stop my 10 bolt from annihalating.
