1.9 rocker question

[BoostedComp]

sooo i have been watching zzp's black friday sales all day waiting for rockers... then they announced $299 roller rockers and i scored the first set!! the second were bumped up to 329 =) i also added on some #105 springs... are those gonna be sufficient for the 1.95 size i ordered? nothing else ill need right?

[blueguy]

I'd get new VC gaskets since your gonna be in there...

And yes...105#'s springs are just fine...but...are they comp springs? god I hope not.

[BoostedComp]

yeah def gonna get the gaskets replaced while im there. anddd im not sure if they are comp springs... i just chose the 105# springs and retainers from the drop down menu on zzp's website i was tryin to rush to be the first order. comp springs no good i take it? if not ill get rid of them and find some diff ones

I liked my comp 105's I had on my cammed mid 6k revving N/A setup. Drove it like I stole it for 30k miles with no signs of breakage

[BoostedComp]

lol well thats pretty reasuring im hoping to have a pretty nice rocker setup after all this is done... i have a feeling tranny will be my next investment though.

[blowfishRus6]

you will love the new found top end. even with my 1.8's i was like damn. being rollers i felt liked it picked up power everywhere. but after 4500........

[blueguy]

Comp springs suck...they break...I'd rather return them and not take the chances with my valvetrain components breaking...or maybe thats just me?

Get Crow 105's, GM LS6 Yellow's, or nothing.

well like i said im not sure 100% which springs they are sending me. but ill keep all the advice in mind thanks guys. also, how tough is it to change springs and retainers? i know you need a special tool... but is it somethin i should leave to a pro, or once i get the tool i should be fine? and rus.. yes im very excited to see the gains. i know when i did the plog/dp/3.6 i was impressed... now it will be those plus the 1.95s and probably a 3.4 =) but im thinkin im gonna need a custom tune... how much do you think a dhp 1.0 would be holdin me back after the setup is done?

[blowfishRus6]

custom tuning would be the way to go if you could. try the 3.4 and see what it does (scaning wise) and go from there.

you can do the springs yourself. a pin magnent and a little bit of assembly lube is a good idea to help try and not lose any keepers. but its pretty simple.

I would just by a new set of keepers.
