Just ordered the rockers this afternoon , looking forward to their arrival , will be interesting what benefits I get from them along with my current mods , cold air intake , throttle body , insulator , plenum spacer , PCM tune , headers and exhaust , should be good .
You'll be happy with it :)

Putting a deposit on a wrecked VS roller rockers (sorry mace he's offering 450 for them and they've done less than 1000km hah) but keen to get manifold and plenum spacers soon, got the other bolt ons and for the most part working well. Lovely hearing the induction sound of the Cai when you start the car up and give her a rev

$1500...? If i spent that much on modifications i'd sure as hell want to know what kind of gain i'd gotten for my $$.

And gauging performance increase by counting road markers is about as accurate as a stopwatch.

I gauge power increases by the speed I can get to at the "every k over is a killer" sign just out of town.
It's quite effective.

Hey ,well after a couple of problems , my rockers are on the car , thanks to the combined efforts from the guys at Mace , and to the boys at my local Holden Dealer , particularly Graeme the service manager , and technician Aaron , it's all good to go , took it for a proper run this morning , and with my other mods ,and the rockers it has a more punch at the mid to high range , enough to give a small push back in the seat , it seems more ready to rev as well . Here is a list of the mods to the car - in no particular order .

69mm polished throttle body
PCM tune , because my auto played up a bit
12mm plenum spacer
12mm manifold insulator
82 degrees thermostat
SS Growler induction
high ratio rockers , with push rods ( those with a VX may have the same problems as the VY )
polished rocker covers
thermo wrapped headers
2.5 sports exhaust
