    Dan,

    Take these steps.

    1) Remove Rockers
    2) Sell Rockers
    3) Install Cam of your choice
    4) Drop Pulley sizes by at least .2"...get a GOOD TUNE
    5) Reap benefits from real modding.

    I had 1.84 Roller Rockers and a 3.5"...then I went with an XP Cam and a 3.25"...car went from barely chugging into the 13's at 98-99 mph...to running low 13's at 104+.

    yeah i might do that if i wanted to run slower! Hell i ran a 13.2 last year with just and intercooler and 3.4 pulley. I was asking what might have changed when i put the rockers in not for you to be a dick about it

    You don't MAN...I was just giving the guy an example. Your not running low 13's on rockers unless you throw slicks or an intercooler into the mix.

    So why are u telling him to remove his rockers? When u KNOW it's not necessary. Also slicks? What the hell are u talking about? We're talking low 13's, not low 12's. You don't need no damn slicks. Somebody back me up here...because it's obvious this dude doesn't know what he's talking about.

    i got your back and it doesnt take an intercooler or slicks to run low mid 13's i ran a 13 2 with a 3.4 pulley and just minor bolt ons no slicks no intercooler and i wasnt trying to be a wise guy when i asked my intial question i was just asking for a answer and in return a get you being a dick about people modify there cars that fit their budgets at that time i just happen to come across a good deal on rockers and decided to give them a try. People like you are the reasons people stay away from forums if you wana to be a prick go find somebody in your neighborhood to do it to not someone asking for help or if anyone else had the same problem thanks



    Now on another note how much boost should i be seeing if im running a 3.25 pulley?? just so i can make sure i dont have belt slip or anyhting else goofy going on
