No all you're really doing is increasing the lift of the cam. I'm a firm believer that the stock heads max out very quick and those rockers aren't going to do more than maybe 5-7 rwhp tops.

You could get a full cam package with a cam spec'ed out to whatever you want for close to that price.

i agree

higher-ratio rocker arms only increase valve lift and only by a VERY small amount compared to another cam. the best thing to do is just you the cam and springs with the lift and duration that you want on the cam.

if you really want some rockers later on, id suggest either harland sharps or yella-terra.

With $625 laying around I'd get a cam kit.

HP tuners and a wide band would be my next, and is. If you can't tune yourself, dyno tune.
