1. Yes

2. More power at 2500+ rpm, won't hurt the low end TQ

3. Will hit the stock valve covers, need to modify them.

I sell 'em... www.socaldakota.com I believe I sell more than anyone else.

Standard kit is for applications below 5500 rpm--- or if you rev it up there-- get the kit with longer pushrods/guideplates (it's good insurance to go with the 'rev kit' if you do take it up even near 5500-- You can also upgrade to it at a later time-- so you have choices either way.

All prices are on my website (orders placed on RT Tuesday = $10.00 off and a free Crower T-shirt)

No, Peter wasn't perfect, and when he started to doubt what he was doing, he fell in...

The Crower rockers are stainless steel. I don't know for a fact, but I've heard other posters say that aluminum rockers will "work harden" over time, and may break after they've been on for 40 or 50K. Stainless is heavier, though, and may limit rpm's more, if you're worried about that. I'm not, so I bought the Crowers.

Pistolero...... You are correct. I can walk on Ice, but not "Water'......... whatever.

Justin...... this website shows you the installation of 'roller rockers', in case you haven't seen it. Jon did a good job......

Jon........... Thanks
