Default Rockers

I was at Charlotte(Lowes)Motor Speedway today for the "Auto Fair". It's a huge show. I was mainly looking around to see what bolt-on's are out there. I talked with a few vendors and saw alot of gadgets <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> . But one guy I talked with about cams suggested I try some High Ratio Rockers from SLP after I told him that I really wasn't ready to go internal just yet. It makes sense to me to try this. If any of you read my first post you know I'm new to the LS1 and it's personality. Have any of you done this BEFORE a cam install? What kind of gains? He also told me that he saw them advertised in GMHTP mag.So I bought one on my way home. I see that Jesel is also advertising them with a few different ratio options. Anyone have any info or data.

Thanks,
Gary

Yeah I think if I go digging into my motor I am going to try the rockers first. Hell it is like putting a new cam in it with these. I think with the bigger rockers it raises your lift like .30. that was was tybrne told me.
