if doing a CAM you want to go with 1.6 ratio. Because you end up messing with the cam grind specs. More is not better when talking about lift. So staying stock is worth it.

Matching the Cam to the intake and heads is what you want to do. Not using a mix and match of parts where the sum equals the most flow and the most lift. I did that 8 years ago and it was a DISASTER.

Going with 1.6 full rollers might get you 8HP at the rear wheels on a 1.6 ratio. So stay stock if doing a cam. If you don't want to do a cam, get the 1.7s. You will be happy when you are able to hold 85 MPH a lot easier on the hwy without staying heavy on the throttle.

I was looking at those rocker arms as well. DO NOT BUY! THEY ARE NOT FULL ROLLER ROCKERS. Just roller TIP.

PLUS, you need to get different sized pushrods (And hardened because you are using guideplates). I know because HUGHES sells those roller rockers and I called and asked about them. They are also not Bolt on like the Harland Sharps.

THe good thing about the Harland Sharp 1.6 NON ADJUSTABLE is that they are full roller, and do not need different length pushrods.

They are actually less expensive since you do not need to buy a set of pushrods. THe pushrods run 98 (I think) at hughes:

Depends on what cam. You should read this post:
http://www.bionicdodge.com/bionic/in...p?topic=9197.0
Parts:
KRC RV Cam (Have to call and order the 200/206 .480/.480 RV cam)
Stock kegger
1.6 RRs (Crowers...he got them used but they are VERY expensive)
Stock RT Heads (Don't flow much better than the non RT...they just have 2.02 valves)
It was dyno tuned

If I were you, I would just get the 1.7s and these heads (And a SCT from hemifever with the custom tune for those heads):
http://www.hughesengines.com/Index/p...2&partid=25426
Hughes raised their prices THIS YEAR for those heads. They used to be 799. Now they are 850. Must have been popular.
