Re: Horsepower estimate (RWHP?)

ok they checked the oil pressure with a mechanical guage and it said exactly what the guage on the dash says, which he also said was about what it should be. I'll quit worrying about it lol

we are going to switch out the rockers for 1.6's because he couldnt get the current rockers to quit ticking with adjustment.

are the 1.6 ratio rockers going to add much horsepower over the 1.5's? if i get longtubes how much would i gain over the shorties?

You are increasing lift, so expect a few HP gain (usually around 10 or so).

Long tubes over shorties probably won't yield much, if any, gain on your setup.

Re: Horsepower estimate (RWHP?)

I run the same setup (long tubes to a cutout) and am doing just fine in the power/ET department.
