I'd love to drop in a new cam, but it's not going to happen for a few
years. I thought of the rocker arms thinking it would effectively work
the same as a bigger cam. I was swayed by the price of the roller
rockers from crower ($370); also I don't think I'd need stainless steel,
much less roller tips (would be nice though). I would think that a set
of stamped 1.7's would be much more kind on my wallet (tuition has most
of it).
