Hi im new here. I was thinking about doing rockers also but wanted more info on them. I had them on my 2000 gp and loved em so I figure they would be just as good for this engine. Will these mess with the dod at all?? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Jeff

Were they worth it to you? Did you do springs too?

Yella Terra's if you go aluminum or SLP's if you go stamped steel. I would have went Yella Terra's if I didn't find a set of SLP 1.85's for 200.00. I also purchased some oil restricted pushrods to prevent valve float. I have stock WOT shift points and have no valve float with a 1.85 roller rocker with stock springs.

I want to go with SLP 1.85 factory rockers and maybe new springs next month... can you reuse the factory push rods? SLP says on their website NOT FOR DoD ENGINES? ???????? So does everyone that has these or other higher ratio rockers turn off their DoD via tuning?? Still learning... sigh lol
