All,

Who is running 1.7's? Do you have the stock cam or an after market? How was your performance afterwards?

I am trying to get an idea if the modification is worth the 300 dollars for them and hardened pushrods.

 

I'm running them with stock cam, and stock rods and springs. Very good performance increase in my opinion. It was worth the money. I may upgrade to hardened rods in the future, but they really are not a requirement unless you like to race. For a daily driver, stock rods are fine.

 

Whats the gain like? dyno, track times, seat of the pants...whatever you got.

 

No dyno, but it is obvious seat of the pants. Pulls really hard from off-line up through mid rpm to upper RPM range. It was one of about 3 mods I have done that I thought were well worth the cost.

 

yea i put the 1.7s in mine they work good

 

im looking into investing in these also soon...

 

+1, that was going to be my next mod after a Fastman TB.

 

A cam is probably a little better performance mode overall, but to truely get the most from a cam, you should have heads that work with your cam specs. This is a nice simple bolt on mod that yeilds nice gains. If you want a cam, you can always do that later and remove the 1.7's rockers, but in the mean time, it is a good mod in my opinion.

 

So what's the difference between SS and aluminum RR's. I'm guessing weight vs. strength?

 

And please tell me where you found them for $300 + pushrods.
