hey while the intake is off you might consider getting a intake spacer, they help remove heat to the upper intake, there like 30 bux why not it could only help

Well if you have a aftermarket intake gaskets arent always available immediatly and also when you rip with the upper off and on for different reasons and if dan

Yet another disadvantage of fuel injection..

Actually if you guys want to laugh at me I was thinking about my car (carburated of course), and thinking this guy is crazy thinking he has to remove his intake to change rockers.

To determine the change in lift when changing rocker arm ratios, divide the lift of the cam by the original rocker ratio (which gives you the lobe lift), then multiply this number by the new rocker ratio. For example, the stock Mustang 5.0L HO cam has .444†at the valve. Divide this number by the stock rocker ratio of 1.6 to get the lobe lift, .2775†and multiply by the new rocker ratio 1.72, to get the new lift of .477â€.


This is a cut and paste from another site

Just make sure you have clearance under your hood before you buy a spacer
