Don't know if anyone has posted up the results of such a check so far, but it would be nice to get a rough idea how much room there is.

No I did not check with a gauge, but I eyeballed it and compared to it to a 5.3 PRC headed LS1 that we were working on at the same time....they had good clearance.

So, my car will pull noticeably better above like 4500 rpms with the rockers and high flow cat? It does pretty good now, but more certainly wouldn't hurt

So you just had to install yours, tighten and go? No rotating the engine?

well, unplug the injector harness, or fuel pump relay. turn it over a couple times. listen for odd noises. no odd noises. fire and let it idle for a bit. the clatter will go away. enjoy the fun

all you changed was the rockers...nothing else - not the springs like otheres have done?

I am wondering if i can do this without voiding my warrenty....i mean they probably wouldnt know, unless they have to open the covers...right?
