Cam or rockers, can't decide I'm looking to upgrade the LS1 and I've reached a fork in the road.
My current setup: '99 LS1, AFR 205 heads, CC 224/228 .523/.537 112 camshaft, LS6 intake and Long Tube headers, 3.42 gears through a T56.
My ultimate goal is super quick 1/4 miles times, not to concerned with peak HP #s. I cannot decide if I should go with 1.85 rockers to get more out of my current cam, or should I just get a new cam???
I've read through alot of stickies and posts, but just don't know diddly about cams and such.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

The rocker arms won't get you as much as a cam would. Depends on how big you are going and how much more work you want to do. Your new lift would be .569/.584 with 1.85's.

OK, so cam it is.
Anybody want to make some suggestions based on the combo given???
Not looking for peak HP #s, but quick 1/4 mile times, I shift at 6300.
