Please see dyno comparison.... Destroying Dyno Myths... 56K Beware!

Not worth it if you ask me. It would be worth it to get roller rockers if you get better heads intake and cam for sure.

if you're adding a basic cam and are only going to do gt40/explorer top end stuff..just stick with 1.6's..the difference besides the .1 ratio difference the will make more lift for that cam, like i think the f303 cam is stock .512" lift, with 1.6's its supposed to be around .525-530" lift and with 1.7's its about .540-.550" lift...not exact numbers but you get idea
