I’m probably not getting an rv cam now because they all say they require new springs and I don’t feel like taking the heads of so I’ll just get some 1.7 rollers I know they won’t gain as much power but still way easier for less then cam kit. So those plus some headers and a tuner should get me the extra torque I want if they all tell the truth for the most of it on what power you get from them

Don't need to pull the heads to do springs..... but, the rockers add 10hp/tq in and of themselves.

that’s a nice amount, and I haven’t done a whole lot of engine modifications just mostly on the outside for experience I just thought to use the valve spring puller you’d need the heads off but I just replaced the time chain and redid all those gaskets with felpros and I just couldn’t take all that apart again because sure I could do it really fast this time around but I don’t like to waste new parts maybe further down the road I’ll do a crazy build with 93 octane or something.

408 stroker. Go big, or go home.

With the rockers, a good exhaust, and the air-gap, you will get some nice gains, you can feel.
