Lance said:A trick I have learned...if you are running regular street tires...don't warm them up with a burnout. Regular street tires will hook at a dragstrip better if they are cold. I ran a 1.9 second 60' foot time with my stock sized old Hoosie...
Hey their my name is James. In reguards to your rocker arm question yes it will make a little higher lift at the valve. I you have your cam spec card handy, look and see what the lift is at the cam lobe not the valve. should be .3 something. Take that number and times it by the rocker arm ratio and that will give you the valve lift. You should check your spring pressure and intalled height to ensure for no coil bind. Also if their is too much spring pressure you could wipe out a cam lobe. Not enouph and you could have a valve float problem. If you like, check with your machine shop and see what will work out for you.
