Well, I've decided to go ahead and go for a cam and some rockers. Here's the questions: I was thinking about trying out the F-303 with some 1.6 rockers. Do I need to worry about valve clearance with stock heads? Should I just go with the E-303 or something else maybe? The last question is which rockers should I get? Crane alright? Need some opinions on some parts so please feel free to post any.

If youre staying stock heads Id just go 1.7s. Wait until you either have the heads ported or go aftermarket to change cam. Cam companies; Comp, Crane, Crower, FTI all have a stick that will do a good job. Call their tech guy and tell them what you got. Ive got B-1.7s. Pulls strong, but I already had it, if I had to buy one I wouldnt have gone with it

Ah, I see. I was just looking for a mod to make a bit more power. May just throw in some 1.7's and leave the stock cam for now.
