Well these might add from 5 to 10 more ponies, the engine will have less inertia due to the ligther parts.
To install them is better to take the car to a shop. Cause you will have to calibrate the valves after you install the pushrods and please do not get me wrong here if you are asking how to do it then you do not have the tool to calibrate the valves/pushrod

Calibrate the valves? WTF? You don't have to calibrate the valves after a rocker install. The rockers are a simple bolt-on mod. The only hard part is getting at the back ones. The only time I did it was when I had the intake manifolds off, so it was easy then.

If you need instructions, do a search at www.clubgp.com This is a very popular mod, so there are bound to be numerous posts about install instructions and tips.

Rom, thanks for the information. U can certainly run the car without calibrating the valves/pushrods after any adjustment has been made to the rocker arms. But the shop manual says always to double check everything before closing the engine so it wont hurt to double check that everything is the way it is supposed to be?
Thanks anyway for the info. Definetly you are a character, no ofense. YOu have a strong will and great drive. That is a compliment.

IMHO, the ZZP/Intense rockers aren't of the same quality as the SLP rockers. They are just modified stockers. The bearings don't seem very clean..and I've heard several Intense rocker owners say they'd never buy them again. That's just me though....

Yeah..I saw those. They're not out yet though ;)

I was glad to see that they finally went away from the modified stock arms though.
