Which Rockers and why ?

[Q8]

Hi

i want to add rocker arm on my 97 GTS with headers,catback and airbox so what are my choices and which is the best set for me ? T&Ds Jesel or Harland ?

 

[Simms]

I would say it depends on money, future mods, and use of car.

I went with Jesels, many say the best, but are probably the most expensive. T&D's (also Mopar) are also highly recomended and proven by many.

Many have enven used Arrow and Harland sharp with no issues. However, a recent pair of Harland Sharps broke on a buddies car.

Lots of info on rockers out there.

Thanks Simms ..the problem is that im in Kuwait and i heard that each car needs a different size pushrod ? is that true ? and what should i do to install them ? and where did you buy them from ?

 

[J DAWG]

Pushrod length is very important and should be checked. The vast majority(using T&D/Mopars) end up with 7.70 length 1 piece pushrods that one can buy from Summit.


Don't know about the Jesels and I think Arrows have a pretty standard length pushrod as well.



ROE carries the Jesels and there are some individuals selling T&D/Mopars which are brand new. Check the classifieds on the alley.

Many do say they are the best rockers money can buy.

do you know what size pushrods they used on your car ?

and ill be callng Sean Roe on monday to order the JESELS

 

[Woody]

I got my Jesel's from Sean Roe. Great to deal with & great product!

 

[Go Fast For Life]

Jesel or TD. I think DC used TDs on the LeMans GTS-R (race cars).

 

[Simms]

Sean Roe will get you in the right area for pushrod length. But you should always check them with the adjustable pushrod the Jesel kit comes with.

Thanks for the info guys. West Coast Viper likes the Jesels too, so I'll probably do the Jesels too.

For you guys that have done rockers, what changes did you notice? Hp/Tq increases, etc?

 

[HOdbleFman]

I noticed an immediate 100-125 Hp increase in the mid rpm range. Probably 75-80 Hp up top.

 

[GR8_ASP]

I noticed an immediate 100-125 Hp increase in the mid rpm range. Probably 75-80 Hp up top.

Wow! That is about a 50% increase in power at mid rpms (assumed to be around 3000). Are these measured or guesses?

 

[STUGOTS]

no you get about 30 - 40 HP and around the same TQ at the wheels with jesel

 

[XS TORQ]

Those are the biggest numbers I have heard for 1.7 RR's..... I got 46RWHP and 30-ishTQ w/ headers and T&D's on my Gen I

 

[REDSLED]

Mark, what Roller Rockers and Headers do you have?

 

[HOdbleFman]

Those numbers are pulled out my @ss. I just wanted to see what you guys would say to that. Actually to be honest I didn't notice much of a gain at all.

T&D 1.7 RR's (Mopar version) and Valaya headers (designed and built by Ted May)

 

[Renan]

[Jerry Colpitts]

The Jesels are the best according to my uncle, who is a pro. engine builder. The nicest thing about them is they are very light in weight, and as you know rotational or any type of moving part that is lighter translates into a few more Hp, in the form of effeciancy. This is very appealing to me, as I'm on a mission to make the car lighter. about 3lbs I here. T&D's are a second best, no doubt about that.
