Is your car NA or blown?

Cam or rockers, not both. I would probably buy used parts as much as possible too, saves a bit of money.

Also I'd go double roller if you do decide to cam

[9RegalGS2]

i see.well im aiming for a cam ill grab the lightweight pushrods and lifters too while at it.whats the benefit/drawbacks of the double roller setup?seen that you have to remove balanceshaft or gear and grind your cover?and id like used parts but if i go that route i dont really know what im getting.but yeah gonna be months off yet possibly more.

 

and philbo i have the series 2 s/c .

I keep hearing to avoid the double roller. they wear prematurely, but that is may be installation error by not having verified that the gears are inline, as the crank gear is offset slightly by crank due to the radiused lip?

ive been reading alot on that too.im moving more towards a single setup(less modifications and no need to remove balanceshaft etc..)
