They have a kit including pushrods for$535 and one w/o for $422. They say
the $535 one is for over 5500 RPM. Is this advisable or only for full-race
applications? Help me, Bernd....I know this subject has been discussed many
many times but the archives are not up. Thanks again.

Ron

1.6:1 is the stock ratio and going up to 1.7:1 is (non technically explained
here) like going to a slightly larger lift cam. The roller design also
reduces friction (and wear) which in turn provides more HP. I believe it
was Sam who posted a 24HP gain from the 1.7:1 Rollers.

Crower makes a complete kit (Rockers, Studs, Lock-Nuts, and Pushrods) that
is a direct bolt on.
