Default Roller rocker Question

Any body ever heard of using a mix of roller rockers on an lt1? Such as 1.5 and 1.6 or 1.6 and 1.65? any benefits from doing so?

Not many have mentioned doing it, but from what I remember from a thread talking about it, running more on the exhaust helps. Who ever had done it was running 1.6 Int and 1.7 Exh.

so far from what i have seen and done staggered ratios do not seem to be a benefit to the Lt1. now if you have a cam that may not be complimenting to the Lt1 you may fix it with staggered ratios.

The choice to run staggered rockers is 100% dependent on camshaft lift. On a stock cam, you are much better off going with 1.6s all the way around.
