Got my S&B CAI installed now for some 1.7HS

[directconnection189]

Hey everybody just got my CAI installed and was looking at getting some 1.7 HS roller rockers and was wondering where you got them and if you ran into any trouble on the install.

I'm sure someone will chime in shortly. CAI looks great btw!

nice intake, Iv heard great things about those rockers. you can buy them directly through harland sharp, the guy who runs it, randy jr I think is supposed to be a really great character.

Thanks I was gonna fab my own but I've been slammed at work. Yea I've priced them threw there and was about $320 for the nonadjustable ones.

The 1.7's are a great power addition. You'll like those. I used Crowers years ago and I had to mush in the valve cover oil baffles just a little with a 2x4 so the rockers would clear

 

[directconnection189]

Great thats good to hear

h.s non adj you donnt have to do anything to the valve covers for them to fit. i got mine through summit a few yrs ago. they will give you like .032 more lift. kinda like a small cam. not a bad mod for the money. use grease to hold the spacers in the rockers when you install. it took me 2 drops of the spacers to figure that out.lol. pretty easy install. use some oil on them so you donnt get a dry start on 'em.they are prolly about 15hp gain.

they sure look pretty. to bad you cannt see them after install. i reused them when i pulled my motor for the cam and head swap. gave me a little more lift. i figured them into the build since i already had them.

I'm kind of on the fence on these but if they'll truely fit under the stock valve covers I'd run them. I've heard both ways.

 

[talon6]

they fit under my stockers and my mopar covers with no issues.

 

[Okiespaniel]

Awesome...funally...a trusted source. I'll add them to my list again. Not sure how they'll add anything to a high mileage motor but if they can be reused, even better.

Thanks!

 

[the codes]

they are on my list as well! i also dont know how much theyd help after 164k, but the nice thing is they are resuable!

 

[directconnection189]

Thanks talon for the info I will hopefully order them tomorrow did you run into any trouble with tuning that was my biggest concern

 

[talon6]

i cannt remember which tuner i was running for sure at the time of my first install. it was either the hypertech max energy or the superchips 3815. and no, no problems. you donnt need a tuner to use them.

and after you get them on, i would set the valve covers down on with no gasket and crank the motor over by hand and see if they hit the v/c's just to be safe i guess. okie has me worried now.lol. if they would happen to hit, which i donnt think they will, it would just be the baffle inside. easily fixed.

mileage isnt gonna matter that much in the helping department. they will help no matter the mileage.

 

[directconnection189]

I just bit the bullet and ordered the rockers P/N S70037 from harland for $394.00 shipped. Can't wait to get them in and installed, now just playing that waiting game.

 

[talon6]

the hp gain will be across all the rpm range. they help from the low rpms all the way to the upper rpms.

 

[talon6]

get them yet? and you know you could have got them from summit for 349$.

 

[directconnection189]

Well that sucks I looked on summit but could not find them and no hopefully I will get them this evening I ordered Friday witch sucks because of the labor day weekend.

 

[directconnection189]

Got home and they were waiting on me
