I'll take a little stab at this:
Because you can't just bolt on rockers and hope to magically
cure everything that is restrictive in your vehicle. Is this guy
still running the factory exhaust? Does he have headers?
Did he go to a FABM?
Changing the rockers is part of a larger overall
plan to increase performance. When you add headers,
a cat-back, a high-flow cat or have Sean Meldrum
extrude-hone your intake, you'll be glad that you
have the high-lift rockers.
You have to have all the pieces there to get the big gains.
Check out the five pieces of the "R/T kit" in the
Mopar Performance catalog: filter, computer, cam,
headers, and exhaust system. All five of these
pieces work in harmony to increase performance.
Note: Adding the rockers OR the cam is usually
a *good* idea. Adding both is not always
a *great* idea. Adding the high-lift rockers to the
new cam changes the cam timing and will make the engine think it is
running on a different cam. But that is the topic of another
thread.....
