I have a 91 lx and i wanted to cam it but i didnt know if i got the mild cam if i have to change the rockers or will the stock ones be ok. Im not putting a real lot of work into the car, only full exhaust, bigger throttle body, intake manifold, and gears (maybe some other things). Thank you

If your not putting on a set of heads and are just sticking to some bolt on dont waste your time unless you really just want the sound.

You dont have to change the rockers, but you might have to change the springs depending on the cam.

Just get an E cam or B cam. Lift is close to stock and you'll get that sound and a bit more power

Why not go for 1.72 roller rockers? I have them and my car idles smoothly and seems to have a little more than it did before. Then again I'm 22 years older than you so I don't need to wave the flag.
