i wouldnt waste the money on rockers either. sell that cam and get a cam thats actually useful. your gonna spend 400-500 on a decent set of rockers when you can sell that baby cam for 200-250 and buy a decent cam for that much.

i already have a set of harlands that i bought for $150 and on top of that i only paid $50 for the cam from my buddy so all in all thats only 225. not that much but where not talking about the rockers im trying to figure out the injectors at this point. so both of the 8.1 injectors will plug right into the factory fuel rail and harness correct?

Yes the injectors will work with a tune. Now on to rockers, sell them and buy a new cam.

It's not an opinion, but ok. Go for it!

it is very much an opinion. basically what your telling me is that you know more than comp cams or thunder racing because they both accually highly recomend 1.8's with that cam so again keep you opinion to yourself and go find something else to do dousche.

Nobody said they don't make any improvements. They do raise lift, but you have to have headwork done to take advantage of that. You could make it .700" lift and it's not gonna do you any damn good because you've got stock heads. It seems that 862 heads don't need more than .550" of lift in their stock form from what I have read and seen.

And just because a company sells it doesn't mean they work. You have a tornado on that truck, or maybe a superchips programmer? They must work if someone sells it right?

If I bought a cam and rockers for 200 Id be selling them and buy a decent cam and have money in my pocket. If your worried about your injectors, just get some 8.1s and never worry again.
