Thanks dude..even called me out on the video... , truck sounds good.

what hp do you get out of it if any at all

 

Thanks for compliments guys!

I'm not sure what the actual HP gains are but I know that this particular swap gains in three ways: The reduced friction because of the roller tip, the lighter aluminum rocker vs. the stamped steel stock rocker, and the increased valve open duration due to the larger ratio. I've heard about 20 to 25HP for the v8 and up to 40HP for the v10, but I don't know if I trust those figures because I believe the v10 already runs a 1.7 ratio.

Here's my one tip to add: when installing the rockers, do one or two pairs on the passenger side first to get your technique down, then go fo the hardest to reach ones, my back started to get really tired and I got the shakes bad from straining.

I did notice a little blue smoke from the exhaust in those vids, don't think thats normal, but I ran some MCCC through the intake last night so we'll see if that gets rid of it.

 

Left out one thing with the roller rockers...needle point bearings in em..

 

^^^^
Automotive bully....

 

I really enjoyed your write-up and pics of the whole process. I hope other guys follow in your footsteps. Great Job!!

 

LOL..... aim , was there a reason why they wanted you to upgrade your pushrods ???? besides of it being a harder rod. different in lengths ???

 

Nothing I read from Harland Sharp ever said anything about hardened or longer rods, the Crowers recommended a longer push rod (.050" longer, saw it at the KRC website) if you would consistantly rev over 5500rpms. Heck, my rev limiter kicks in at 5250, so I never worred about it. I think the hardened push rods are an insurance step if you race or run it hard.

 

well, I took it out this morning and jumped on it err... I mean, cleaned out the MCCC, and man, love them! Haven't had this much fun with it since I installed the Fastman! Much smoother acceleration, engine feels like it's not working as hard to get up to speed. Great mod for the money, IMO.

I've got about 4 more mods I want to do performance wise now:

Headers, (Tax Check baby!) looking into the Gibson SS shorties. Still think LT's are too much for the 5.2, not looking for top end, I want off the line jump.
Heads, about a grand at hughesengines.com I'm guessing around christmas of next year.
Mod the Keg, Summer 08, just need the time away from school and a rotozip or dremel. Figure I'll still beat Reid to it.
B&G or SCT flash, I'll save this for last and see how the SCT thing is shaking out. Plus, I'll maximize all the other mods if I have them done and broken in before I go. Summer '09 guesstimate.
