    I was wondering if I had seen his sell already sometime ago.. Def. would be interested in your set. Mind sending me a PM when you'd be ready to sell?

    Thanks!

    also, just noticed that you are in Columbus. Small world.

    I have a few sets for sale....some are listed and some are not. Just have to go through everything on the shelf and update the sale thread when I find some time at home. I'll shoot you a PM whenever I have the set in my hands....should be sometime next week.

    If you're new to modding go with rockers easy to install and a gateway drug......either you like where you're at or it leaves you wanting more. If that ever happens go cam and sell rockers to help pay for cam.

    If it's your DD and you drive in the city a lot/care about MPG, I'd personally go with a VS. It might just be me, but I couldn't deal with the XP or equivalent cams with how much stop and go driving I do.

    Definitely cam it though if you have the time, IMO the hardest part about camming is tuning, and that's just in terms of how much time you can devote to getting it right.

    The only time I'd ever do rockers is on a N/A car because versus a cam, they'll both do very little. I only went rockers on mine because I don't have the time to tune a top swap correctly, nor the money to invest in a tuner and a wideband. I figure I'll just get a goat or something similar when I have the funds for another car. My GP is strictly for cruising and music. The mods were really just to offset all the added weight from the sound system.

    I have them and the install was easy. I changed the springs as well, although I was nervous about dropping a valve. I'm very happy with the power increase and the smooth idle.

    I am new to modding, and I have a question about these rockers. I currently have a stock 04 comp g and I run regular gas. Would these rockers help me with either power or MPG, and would I need to switch to higher octane fuel?

    You should run 91+ at all times on a SC car.......I assume regular = 87

    It's from what I've heard and read. Someone recently went cammed on here and their pushrods showed signs of wear. I'm not sure who though.

    Hmm no ****. Well then maby ill just go with a vs then. I dont really want to do much. I was thinking either 1.9s or a vs with stock valvetrain. Just something to give me a little more. The work doesnt bother me its just i dont want to spend more that a few hundred.
