Default 1.6 roller rockers

I was thinking of changing to a 1.6 roller rocker in my 94 Z, but I had some questions first. What if any horsepower would I gain for doing this? Also would I have to reprogram my computer after it was done?

I would change springs to and go with the reprogramming, that would help you get the most out of them, but neither are required.

I also would highly recomend new springs. I have seen 8 RWHP with out tuning. car was already dialed in. Most of what you will pick up in a program is power you could already have

I can also back that up; but then maybe Ellis is talking about me? I also gained 2 ft lbs. torque at the wheels, and ~2 mph trap speed at the track.
