    I agree with this.By going to a different rocker arm ratio you will have to go to shaft mount rockers $750 please or more.Buy a small base circle cam.You will be much happier.

    A few of you guys recomended that to me when I was having the cam hitting hte rods problem. You need to use a longer pushrod correct? And I can pick which cam I would like to use, and have the manufacturer, say comp, do it for a fee. Looks liek thats the way im going to go. Sooner or later I hope, Im really upset that I let somethign as stupid as that pass me lol. Live and learn

    To find out what length push-rods you need you will have to buy an adustable push rod length checking tool.
