Let Her breath...LOL

I have a set of 1.8 ratio roller rockers to replace the stock 1.7 stamped steel rockers. This would give about 0.030" more lift from the vary mild mag cam shaft and reduce friction.

T.,
I believe that you can buy 1.8 rollers for the new 496 engines from Raylor.

I guess those volvo's you can get are a great deal!

The GPS I have seems to be vary slow to get to top speed and you have to run in a straight line. The speedo gets to 83 84 and stay there through turns. I think a GPS Speedo would work a lot better.
I'm actually running with a Merc MPI system and Volvo Penta accessories. I'll be switching to the Volvo/AZ Speed MPI when I build my next engine or build up this one...
