Gold Race Extruded Aluminum Roller Rocker Arms for LS1/LS6

Crane Cams Gold-Race, full-roller aluminum rockers for the LS1/LS6 engine family add up to 20 horsepower over stock! These rockers were designed for quiet operation and do not trigger the stock GM "Knock Sensor", which retards spark advance and reduces power output! They feature the exclusive Crane "Quick-Lift" design, which moves the valve off its seat quicker, initiating flow into the combustion chamber earlier, thereby increasing port efficiency and horsepower output! They are available in a complete kit (rockers, rocker studs, pushrod guideplates and pushrods) or separately, and are an easy bolt-on. They also clear stock Chevy LS1/LS6 rocker covers. Stock 1.7:1 and optional 1.8:1 ratios available.

I have heard the Chevy heads don't flow that well on the exhaust side and that is why dual pattern cams are used.
The 454/502 Mag cam is a single 224°/224° pattern cam.
How about using a 1.7 ratio on the intake valves and the 1.8 ratio on the exhaust?

Also did you know the o-ring gasket was more expensive than the head gasket?
I left the o-rings in my stock valve covers,put a thin bead of great stuff or good stuff rtv on the area around the orings,used a felpro rubber with steel core gasket between head and v.c. It doesn't leak and it gives you a xtra 1/4 inch clearence. You will need longer bolts,I think 1/4" by 1",Smitty
