    I am trying to decide what i should get for my NA GP, im trying to decide what i should get, ZZP ER ratio rockers, 1.9 modified ratio rockers, or XP hot cam, ST1 or ST2 cam.

    I am wondering what would be better to get? cam or rockers, also which are easier to install?

    Im asking what you guys would think be the best buy, i might have furture plans for a turbo but not sure yet.

    thanks guys

    get the zzp er rockers and an hv3 insert.

    rockers are much easier than a cam...you just take the valve covers off and install them. cam involes taking the intake off, dropping the cradle etc.

    I see, rockers it is then. Ive seen how to install rockers but never saw anything yet on how to install a cam. Rockers it is then! Yea i already got the hv3, along with overkill pcm tune, zzp dp w/ u bend delete, magnaflow mufflers, and k&n cai. Would the ER rockers be compatible if i get a turbo later down the road?

    If you want to see the most power gains out of your car AND make it sound way better...then a cam is the way to go and the extra money is worth it. Rockers make more power but you'll still be wanting more in the end...I know...been there...went with ZZP 1.84 Rollers then went XP'd. btw...the XP is a blower cam not an N/A cam. Stick with the GT Series Cams...probably a GT2 with stronger Valve Springs or even the GT1 and retain your entire stock valve train. You will benefit more from a tune with cam vs. the rockers...either way it is all depending on what you want out of the car.

    er rockers and the hv3 were ok, but they dont give as much power as you might think

    i'd cam it, but it is much harder to do. Do a topswap to it if you wanna make some power
