Default Rocker Arms

Generaly I tell people rocker arms are not worth the money and performance over a cam swap. BUT I found a nice little rocker set on ebay for a $169. They are full roller 1.75 ratio. I wish the cam I have had alittle more lift to it. 1.8 would give me too much for my springs and 1.75 would give me .630/.633 lift. What do you guys think about these? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/LS1-L...73632780QQrdZ1

I wouldn't be first inline to try them if you don't know the track record. Why are they stainless?

So they don't stain.




Valves are stainless too. I'd imagine the rockers are stainless so the roller doesn't rust and cause more lift on one than on the other.

do you think that such a small increase in lift would do anything?
