why such a small ratio??
I didnt want to have to elongate the pushrod holes plus I'm already at .586/.562 and my heads dont flow much better past .600 so there was no need. 1.52 is factory for a SBC. Ohh yeah I'm also using a custom Hyd. roller cam.
How are they noisy P2? Arent they supposed to be soundless?

aaahh i see. i didnt know you had that big of a cam
Roller rockers are noisy as hell. Especially under cast aluminum valve covers. It might as well be an echo chamber labeled "Powered by Singer".
Yeah if anything I was thinking of using 1.6's on the exhaust side so it'll be .586/.599 but decided against it since my heads flow very well on the exhaust side.
Mine dont make much noise at all..?

I guess I just lucked out and got the quiet ones.. lol
I wonder if the Aluminum rockers are louder than steel ones?
most rollers are loud as hell. i got a set of harland sharps 1.6's
I guess I'm the only one using steel. Oh well..
