    Because side by side...

    your going to cry when you see the gains to be had from a cam vs. gains with rockers.

    Because you know how much better it is than a set of rockers.

    You need the same valvetrain mods to run a cam as you do rockers...

    #105 springs...and matching retainers...you don't need different pushrods with a cam like you do some rocker sets...depending on the cam that is.

    DUDE that is a hella good deal on the package set up. You really need to jump on this deal. I had rockers on my 3.2 set up and I was happy with it untill I pulled up to a gp with a cam on E85 and I gotz SMOKKKEEEEDDDD. Nick help a brother out and do his install for a fee.
