That is for sure. Corky's rocker arms change will be interesting and I

I too long ago learned to take auto parts mfg. claims of bolt on HP as

significant.

There is one consideration. That is valve mass acceleration and
deceleration. If you lift the valve a greater distance in the same
amount of time, good valve springs and good seats become critical. The
higher ratio rocker is a better solution than a taller lump on the cam
since the lifter, push rod and rocker acceleration are not increased.
