Default Thinking about 1.85 rockers

just like the title says. Is tuning necessary? What kind of power gain would I see with stock cam and heads? Thanks in advance.

A tune is probably not going to be needed and you should see about 13 to 17 rwhp. This is assuming good push rods and the right springs.

Here is what JUST 1.85 rockers did to my 383 stroker, the lower curve is an LS2 for comparison, see how the top end on mine drops like a stone pre rockers!
