    Question Holden V8 rocker ratio's

    Hi,

    is there any particular reason that you only produce rockers for the Holden V8 engines in the standard 1.6:1 and 1.65:1 ratio's?

    there have been great results on other engines with higher ratio rockers. wouldn't we see similar results with higher ratio rockers on our beloved Holden V8's

    you have to modify the 1.65's for some cams, so i would assume to avoid fouling with retainers etc they skipped it.

    but yeah, i realise im not yella terra
