Rocker arms
How much power can I gain from a set of 1.6 rocker arms? How about the 1.7s? Is it a seat of the pants difference? And please, no one suggest getting new heads because I can not afford them any time soon.

RE: Rocker arms
That's exactly what I wanted to know, thanks 
! Now lets say I get the 1.7s, underdrives, shorty equals and some underdrives, what kind of gains am I looking at there, I'm guessing with all that stuff combined I'd be seeing a pretty big SOTP gain.

RE: Rocker arms
If you go with some roller rockers then you will free up some friction allowing more power to where you want it to go...the wheels.
Now vfast you were saying the 1.7s would put you at a .479 lift. So the 1.7s will push more of a lift then 1.6s? I havent learned about 1.6s and 1.7s yet. So if that is true that they push more...what does that mean when i look for 1.7s and a new cam, will i have to remember that the 1.7s will create a bigger valve opening then what the cam advertises?
