Default Guys with Pro Mags come on in!!

Not sure on HOW loud these should be but was told they will be louder then most RR going to recheck everything tomorrow preloaded all the rockers with 1/2 turn the car runs good and all just want to get an idea if maybe its just the rockers vs being a loose rocker other then that


Car is running great

They shouldn't be "clicky" it should be a smooth sound but they are louder then OE.

Mine were louder than stock, but there should be no clacking if they are adjusted properly.

Some composite valve covers quiet the noise down also. It helped on mine quite a bit over the stamped stock ones.

I can't hear them at all. Very smooth and quiet.
