Is 1:1 factory or is 1.1:1? What would higher ratio rocker do to an
>otherwise stock 1600CC single port?
hello Gus...the lifters have nothing to do with lift at the valve...it is the rocker ratio that you speak of that does(i assume you actually know this, and that is how yo uknow of the "ratios")....a higher ratio on the rocker arms would allow a little better breathing, but don't expect miracles...unless you plan to upgrade your valve springs also i wouldn't(personally) go over 1.25:1 rockers...with *no* other mods to the engine, you would be better off to keep the change in your pocket till you were ready to do some real upgrades...a package type upgrade...if you change one part of the system, then the parts "downstream" also need attention...
