The only ones I have ever heard of actually giving you a gain was yella terra rockers. and it was like 6whp on a big cam/heads f-body.

I don't think they are worth the money unless they are your very last mod. and going to bigger ratio rockers like 1.8s or 1.85s you really have to start thinking about PTV clearances.

I used to have the Harland Sharp 1.7s. They clear the stock valve covers with out spacers.

I noticed some difference up top, but that was it.
