Default 1.52 roller tip rockers?

I just finished my cam swap ,cs268 high energy, I re-installed the stamped factory rockers. Would I be better off with the 1.52 ratio, which comp cam calls for even though I have the 882 smog heads on. By the way, she runs very strong, but ther is always room for any improvement .

The stamped factory rockers are inaccurate at best. A set of aftermarket 1.52's is the way to go for accurate cam/valvetrain geometry. You might not notice the diff, but your engine will.

Besides increasing lift from about 1.47 to 1.52 Comp roller tip will help reduce valve guide wear.

:cool:

There is a great article on this very subject in the new issue of Vette magazine (I think it's Vette, could be Corvette Fever). They post some interesting dyno results from swapping racker arms.
