Hey guys,
I'm weighting my options of what my next upgrade should be...im stuck between suspension, exhaust and valvetrain. It's lookin as suspension is gonna be too expensive so I'm either gonna go with an O/R H, 40 flows and new tips OR roller rockers, new springs and hardened pushrods. The exhaust is pretty straight forward if I decide to go that route, but I'm not too sure on the valvetrain. I have a Edel RPM cam, (224,234 .496, .520 hydraulic) and should have gotten new springs when I got it. I didn't because I couldn't afford it at the time, I'm just waitin for one of em to snap or something. How hard would it be to switch out the rockers, pushrods and springs? Can anyone give me a real brief run down on what tools, and steps I'll need to take? Any calibration involved or is it a pretty straightforward bolt on? Also, what preformance differences will there be between 1.5s, 1.6s, 1.7s? It's a street car, will 1.7s make it so it makes power even higher than it does now? The ratio of the rockers will affect the lenght of the pushrods as well correct?
I know it's a long post, with a lotta questions, I just want to know what I'm getting myself into before I buy the parts, I don't have enough money to pay for installation. Thanks a lot for your time guys.
