Re: installing 1.9 rockers next week
Rockers are a great mod, I haven't grown tired of mine yet, and i've had them in my car since 2003 and nearly 100,000 miles with them. And as was said above, A full ICed/Rocker/Header car can be pretty damn quick. I'm planning for 12s for my setup. My goal has always been at least a 12.9. I'm hoping with the addition of Alky, Higher Stall, Gears, and Slicks my goal is obtainable. I'm always skeptical though. I haven't raced the car in years at the track...

And yeah when I had my 1.84's vs. stock I could really feel a difference around 4-5K ;)

Hahaha NOOO, i have another vehicle i drive.
Re: installing 1.9 rockers next week
Can i change the oil right after finishing the rocker job ? cause the motor oil is real old and i need to change it. Or should i wait the 250-500 miles zzp says to do.
Re: installing 1.9 rockers next week
There's going to be a slight breaking period as the pushrods wear out any imperfections in the new seats of the rockers. If you have a magnetic drain plug it should be able to catch anything bad along with the filter.
I'm at about that 500 mile mark after my rockers and I'm changing it this weekend. I used dino oil though so I'm eager to get back to synthetic.
