1.8 Ratio Rocker Arms
Hey guys,
I can get a set of Harland Sharp 1.8 ratio rockers for really...next to nothing. My question is......if I buy these, would this be a worth while project to install these?
I guess what I'm asking is, will it be worth it to upgrade to the 1.8 rockers? Will I notice any gain?
If I won't notice any gain from it, then I don't want to waste my money on them, even if they are only like $50.00

depends on what your mods are now... if you have bigger cam and want to get extra edge. rocker arm could work. but i dont think it's 50bucks to get them. you also need valve cover spacer and harden pushrod.
i have 1.8 rocker on my suv now spent about $500 dollars all together not to mention labor.(did my own) as far as gaining if you have ported head and cam. you'll see gain at top end. about 10-15hp at top.

It also depends on your mods. When I did my first cam 210/218-551/551-116 I did it first with the stock rockers, then did the 1.8 Crane rockers a couple days later and I noticed a large off-idle torque increase with the Radix.
