Yeah that's probably a good idea lol cause that's a little steep compared to what I've been hearing they go for

I can't seem to find any much cheaper. Here's the cheapest I'm finding, any thoughts? http://m.ebay.com/itm/HARLAND-SHARP-...801?nav=SEARCH

I went and looked for the roller rockers. I found two different pedestal mounts.

These, which have a 1.6 ratio

And these, which have a 1.7 ratio. What makes them different? What does .1 ratio do?

The higher ratio makes the cam think it is bigger than it really is. Hence: More power. JUST the rockers are good for 10 hp/tq. Probably one of THE best bang-for-the-buck mods you can do on the magnum engines.

Ah I see. Yeah. I guess, add these with a upgraded cam and I think you could get some good gains.

Rockers, exhaust, good air filter, and a tune.... and it can make a noticeable difference.

Try http://www.southeastrt.net/. John Mercedes is the guy you should talk to. I paid $305 for mine (S70037) but that was over 3 years ago.

Well that went much quicker than expected.. Fastman 50mm TB and 1.7 roller rockers are ordered from John at Southeast. Soon enough will be the tune from hemifever!
