Rocker ratio is 1.6. You can get all that stuff here: http://www.3800performance.com

You can get springs almost anywhere. I am using compcam LS1 springs. The rocker arms you will have to find some that are offset. So they will be more expensive. Do you plan on changing the ratio?

Not always. Sometimes you can get away with it. If its a mild cam I think you would be ok. We are still experimenting with different cams. Yea check that link they will have rockers that will work on our cars with 1.9 Ratio.

Just got off the phone with compcams again. They said right now the cores are on backorder. He said the cores were supposed to be in on the 27th. Today is the 30th and they are not in yet. So it is possible these cores could be in any day. But you might be waiting a while.
