<DIV><SPAN class=701103919-20062001><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2> I'd like to see Jim McFarland's article on this,
before I passed judgment. However, running some quick Dyno2000 sims on my build
doesn't look promising. But the Hotrockers website does throw the caveat that
your engine's heads must be such that they will respond to higher lift. The flow
tests on my heads indicate that for my power range and camshaft, more or less
lift gives minimal return.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=701103919-20062001><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2> Articles in Car Craft, Hot Rod, and others confirm
this. Not all engines respond dramatically to changes of rocker ratio. Others
do. Until the Hotrockers maker comes up with some sort of guide to help you tell
ahead of time whether they will help your engine or not, I'd sink my 930 bucks
into other parts.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
