1.6 rockers won't give you any more gross valve lift b/c the stock rockers are
1.6 ratio (to my knowledge.)

I put 1.6 RRs on my truck for reliability with it's higher lifts (.512 lift on
intake/exhaust). There is a gain from the 1.7s, but at $450 or so, it may be
better off spending the dollars on the TB mods to begin with.
