1.7 rockers will work with any set up. Most cams are spec'd at a 1.6 ratio. 1.7 will increase the valve lift and duration.

So to answer your question, thay will work with a turbo motor but it really depends on the size of your cam, pistons, and heads..

you sir are a tool. what does 1.7 rockers have to do with anything that has boost. i think you should look more into buying a B16A SWAP FOR YOUR SLOW MUSTANG that will only put out 350HP with 2...count them, t w o turbos. please, my lawnmower from ace hardware would outrun your slow, crappy, crappy, crappy, crappy setup just because you're slow and will always be slow and you are the slowest of all slow mustangs because you want TWIN, TWO, DUCE, DOS, A COUPLE of turbos but only want 350HP. You win for worst post on the internet. Here's an idea, put your stang up for sale on craigslist and then hit the unregister button on this forum and go buy a slow honda. its time to jam, eurotek sound, eurotek sound.

To answer your answer I think we will find that you are helping someone that is a lost cause. the gentleman wants to run TWIN TURBOS and only make 350HP. Seriously, think about it...take a step back, ponder about life's mysteries and take in the horrible truth that this entire thread is going to be FAIL. The earth is flat and jimmy just sucked the turtles left front index toe nail with green scaly toenail stuff on his foot that is attached to his shell which makes up overall mass of his tiny turtle body.

ok first, all it required was a simple it doesnt matter what rocker arm size you use. second your smart ass comments arent appreciated and im sure ur not all knowing like u seem to think you are, third and im sure this is gona get edited or deleted but, fuck off if u dont like the question asked then dont give a fucking awnser. every post ive ever seen from u is a smart ass know it all comment that no one cares to hear. this forum is slowling going to shit due to a few people who at every waking moment feal the need to talk shit to people.

do me a favor and simply just dont reply to anything i write again.

I get what mustank is saying though. What kind of question is that? You seem to have figured it out that it doesn't matter on your own so why make a thread about it? Why not just google it first? And the whole twin turbo 350hp thing is kinda retarded too lol

Ok, im looking at your sig and im not seeing a aftermarket cam, the Turbo(s) will destroy it, i think it would be a better idea to maybe just put a nice cam in it. Less money and if your goal is only 350HP ( not that the cam will get you there ) but its a lot cheaper.

Dont buy cheap Turbo's in fact if you only want 350HP, dont even buy a turbo. for less money you can pick up a SC Vortech S/C ( low Boost ) And i think that would be the better way to go, imo.

you can make really good horsepower with an f cam and a single turbo on your stock motor, more than 300.

hahah that's awesome

and in reading your post it seems you need the small twin turbo setup to be able to say "I got twins yo" all the while im sure a decently tuned dodge omni would own you and your twins

the point i was trying to make was that just becuase it says twin turbo doesnt instantly mean big numbers.

and i was thinking of a small twin set up becuase its a little different than everything else, yes i a cam and a single would be awsome and get the job done, but 90% of turboed foxes ive seen are singles.

a cam, intake and a shot of nitrouse would get it all done for less than a grand. if i was just worried about making power and easy way everyone has done it way then hey there u go

I'm just jumping on the bandwagon here and making a joke along with everyone else. Nothing personal

If you have ANY turbo single or dual on a 5.0 engine and it is only making 350HP, it will definitely be 100% unique and unlike any other turbo Mustang.

On the more serious side.. The average Fox mustang person (and those that participate in this forum) are a little more geared toward performance and most of all, numbers and results, unique is nice but usually second or third down the list. It is a fox body Mustang that was around for 14 years and is over 30 years old, just about everything has been done many times over. The average (not all) import tuner person in the a crowd is a little more geared towards unique and maybe a little more towards status or overall looks than actual hard numbers and performance. There is nothing wrong with thinking either way and to each his own, different strokes for different folks etc... It will be hard to convince a bunch of people in the first crowd that spending all of the time and money to have low numbers and results just to be different is worth it. That is why people are cracking jokes.

i dont get why people dont see this point sometimes. the reason that "EVERYONE is doing it" is because it works. proven combos are what smart people go with. but good luck with your twins

I agree.. I mean to go twins just tells me you want attention or have to make up for a small dick to others or something. Two small turbos is twice the amount of heat, piping and oil lines, tuning that a single involves

wow, this is interesting! i agree with most people, and another addition, if you want to be unique, sell the mustang. Fox body mustangs are like ass holes everyone has one! its like camaro's or civics, you want to do something different, then do something different! build something like a Geo hatch lol i dont see too many of those rolling around twin turboed. but what ever works for you i guess.
