Default 1.6 or 1.7 roller rockers? e7 heads

whats needed to put roller rockers on e7 heads? is there much differance with 1.7 rockers as opposed to 1.6 whats the best/most affordable. i have heard that 1.7s will give a noticable differance.

ok i just heard its a cheap way to gain power and i have yet to explore it. so what about 24# injectors 75mm maf tuned for 24# and a 75mm or 80mm tb?is that more worth it?i already have the injectors, brand new in box. down the road i want to boost so i dont know

i have 2 86 gt motors one in my 85 gt vert which i plan on selling the vert with no drivetrain, the 86 in my 86 that was rebuilt but i dont know much about except the stock flywheel wont work on it now as the one on it was balance special before i got it.im putting e7 heads on whichever motor i used with my 2.5" o/r h pipe and flows.both motors have maf conversions. i think the vert motor might be stronger. im doing a comp test on it soon.so all in all to stock 86 gt motors running maf on a9l ecu's. im going to rebuild one of them whichever is more beat

that would probably make a big differance since i have like 2.73s i was thinking of something out of a auto car since its usually a higher gear than a stick car. but i havent yet from craigs list because peopl,e peddle beat up crap on there, so maybe a set of gears new might be better?
