I was wanting the 1.7's because your effectively getting a "beefier" cam with
reduced friction. I know if you were to go with installing a bigger cam that
gas milleage is reduced. I was just wondering if the reduced friction be enough
to take up the gas milleage for the drop of milleage from the longer duration.
Installing rockers arent that bad (rebuilt a few engines and I dont beleive
roller rockers would install much different from regular ones), its
easier/cheaper than replacing the cam.
