Depends cams are harder to install, more HP's (expensive). Rockers easier to install less HP's (not by much), less expensive

like he said above. if u want to have somewhat quick power w/o having the difficulty of installing the parts as well as on a budget i'd say get rockers. im running 1.9 stock modified rockers right now and i like them. for example, i have the GTP, and i can run at the smallest, a 3.4" pulley w/o issues and supporting mods and i can shift somewhat higher in the RPMs to be in the next gears' powerband. if you do end up with rockers depending on your motor's mileage it'd be good to prolly upgrade the springs and retainers to ensure no valve float.
if you're gonna get a cam, prolly best is to get a mild one. its good for mid-range power especially if you're not gonna go WOT to redline at the time. choice is up to you. im getting ready to swap my modified rockers out and having a local swap in a VS cam instead. good luck

yeah this is hard man, i need more input...i really needed that info you gave me it helps with pros and cons...please people i need more input on what you think i should do or what you would recommend

all depends on what YOU want to do with the car...present, future? cost effectiveness.
if you are strapped for cash and dont have time for you car to be down..I would go rockers. they can be installed in a few hours.
where as a cam, the car will be down for a day or weekend depending on knowledge of the vehicle. you will net better gains with a cam, and a tune.

ok so if i decide to go with rockers, what kind do you all recommend?
02-15-2008
i was thinking about the ER rockers from zz...
02-16-2008
Man i am glad you started this post I was wondering the same thing and the way it looks for me now its rockers.
02-16-2008
yeah man i pretty much decided to go with rockers after researching and looking at the tests zzperformance ran on their site, pretty impressed and less risk...i still want people to keep posting in this thread for more needed information..
02-17-2008
ER's are fine. I have Yella terra's on my GT. I like them.
02-17-2008
I've got Intense Gen III rockers....
that being said, one could even go with the modified stockers, too
02-17-2008
yeah i was looking into the er's on zzperformance and read up on their test they ran and i was pretty impressed, that is why i think i am going to go with those, unless someone thinks otherwise..
02-18-2008
What rockers should i get if i dont plain on doing any further mods......
99 GP GT K&N intake is on and a downpipe is in the works (cat, u-bend delete)
02-18-2008
idk man personally if you dont plan on doing much else i wouldnt go rockers, because you should upgrade your push-rods and then your valve springs too. im not an expert on this, but thats just me, seems it would be pointless to get rockers if you arent planning anything further...anyone?
02-18-2008
If have to get those two things then Id would, as you can see im no expert either
02-19-2008
yeah that is what i think i am going to end up doing after i get the HV3 and the HV ported TB...
