    you'll feel a difference in the upper rpm range, id like to say around 4k, the idle changes slightly too.

    Nope. I don't get why people spend so much on rocker setups. Get modded stock rockers used. Prices have gone down it seems since I bought mine. I've seen $200 sets for sale recently. I, along with many others, just run the stock springs with 1.9 modded stock rockers without issue. It is a good mod but not $500 good. $200 - $250? Now we're talkin'. No need to worry about aftermarket rocker problems (e.g. Intense) or springs breaking (e.g. Comp Cams) going with modded stock rockers and stock springs not to mention its cheaper and quicker to install.

    I got my rockers that had 500 miles on them for $150 . ZZP modded ones and they work good and i definitely feel it complemented the 3.4 pulley.

    Look for them used, modified or just used. Personally I'd prefer spending an extra $20 for rollers instead of modded. I've seen prices on both being about the same for a while now.

    You'll feel the difference, especially being that you have the pulley and need more flow through the heads.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    i loved the feel of my ZZP ER rockers (the split ratio) on my L36 i didnt like the idea that some guy spot welded them and re drilled a hole. after i popped #4 i sold the rockers and bought the 1.8 yella terra (zzp rollers) my car still pulls. for the over 500$ you are going to spend on 1.95's and springs id go with a cam

    I'm trying to pick my next mod for the spring, either rockers, a cam, or headers, so LMK how it turns out.

    I'd love to go intercooled but unless you'll still throw that deal at me in the spring it's just way out of my price range. And I heard something about the last guy not being able to get it to seal or something?

    Depends. Im more then likely going to design a completely different core as phenolic is proving to be too hard to seal for the average person, i honestly dont see how they are having problems but that is beside the point. Im going to be switching to aluminum and the parts would be even cheaper the design i have in mind (about $50 in materials). Ill keep you posted but that deal would still stand.
