Hi guys

I have heard about changing the rockers over and it gives you a big change in horse power. Can someoen let me know the where and what rockers i have to purchase Is this true and can someone let me know anymore cheap and easy mods to get somemore grunt out of the motor. I have already got full exhaust, induction and a HSV tune. Also if anyone has any parts, i may be interested in buying them.

Thanking you

Steve

For starters, go to marranos and have a real tune done.

As for rocker's, just go a new cam setup.

Hi minux

I have been looking at cams but was told about the rockers ( using a different pivot ratio. This opens the valves and lets the motor breath better and saves up setting all the gastekts and timing. Well it seems and easier option so far and cheaper.

HI Minux

Just a quick question as you seem to be in the know. In the crewmans we have a different diff to 2 door utes due to the statesman chassi i guess. Do you know if they are same as the old 10 bolt diff and where and how cna i get different gears to lower the ratio a little.
