UPDATE: Just purchased a set of a set of Yella Terra 1.95:1 high ratio roller rockers. Should arrive next week so it will be interesting to see if they make any difference. stay tuned!

Installed the rockers last week so the car has had time to get used to them and you can definately tell the difference. Revs out more freely, smoother acceleration and more power. definately worth the money.

Also on my way home tonight, had a chance to see if they made any difference against a vs commodore that rocked up next to me. Pulled away from him easily with a running start and did the same with a standing start. Definately more stick mid to high range. The vs seemed to have an exhaust and the usual (lowered, rims etc) so power would have been similar i reckon before the rockers went on

Na havent thought of it, but probably will, just to see if it sounds any different. Would rockers have an affect on the exhaust note?

Oh yeah registered for round 3 of the Holden Dyno days in SA on october 18th. Will be interesting to see if i can improve on the figure of 126.3rwkw i got last time.

@ idle probably sound the same, But pressing it??, Maybe a touch differnt with it building revs faster?.

Thanks Mate! Yeah that SV6 is owned by a mate of mine, and it goes hard! Not really in the shootout for rankings though, it was just cheaper than goin in for a normal dyno run, so we thought why not, but because theres hardly any v6's that enter, we are ranking in the top couple of cars for the v6's in Aus. Pretty funny actually, i would like to see some more v6's give it a go though and up the competition!

I think many V6 drivers are scared off by large ego driving V8 owners.

So you got 126rwkw with only CAI Full Exhaust system?. Man that says a lot for the car or the exhaust you got was a Pearla,

I thinks that's pretty impressive over stock, Them Roller rockers should ad some spice and get you over 130rwkw easily.
