Default Roller Rockers

<DIV>I purchasing a set of heads for my mustang that are set up for pedastal mount rockers. I want to put a set of rollers in and I'm uncertain of the correct ratio to use. I see people using 1.6 and 1.7 and I get why from a spring load perspective, but is there any other reason. I have a E303 cam in the stang. Also what are a good set, but won't set me back $200-$300 buck?</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Thank you,</DIV>

1.7's give you about .30 more lift than the 1.6s will. I dunno the specs on the e303 but 1.7s probably would do you fine but like socal said go with 1.6 for the simplicity of it ...
