Default Rockers Questions

So if I am ready correctly. We can use rockers and rods for the ls1's or ls6 right?
Is there anything that I would have to do extra? About how many extra horse and torque is to be expected from them?

My vote would be for the Yella Terra's with some oil-restricted pushrods. The pushrods have a smaller metering hole so the lifter stays pumped up full of oil to prevent any valve float. This set-up is about 499.00. You would have to e-mail Intense-Racing.com to get them as they are not on thier website yet. Some people on here had to grind the Harland's down so they didn't hit the back of the head. Yella Terra's are non-adjustable so all you have to do is torque them down and go. Crane's are adjustable but can be a pain in the a$$ if the adjustment is off. The Yella Terra's are lighter than the rest too. Whatever you pick, good luck with them.

Crane 1.8's are the best rocker by far to go with. BUT if you don't want to tinker with the rockers at all go with the Yellow Terra or HS rockers. How ever you will get the most HP out of the Crane 1.8 Rockers, Pushrods, and guide plate kit.

Aren't there enough threads about rockers yet? While just as interested as the next guy as far as learning about these mods goes, this is rediculous. It IS alright to just stick a related question on the end of any other rocker-related thread...it WILL get seen and answered by those "in the know."

I'd recommend the "search" button, but i'm sure that even that would result in 15-20 threads over the past 2-3 months

C'mon guys...have some "Forum Etiquitte"
