Magnum 408 w/Stock Lifters & Rockers

i run a LA 408
off the shelf cam, i believe it was a comp 268

im using stock heads (though slightly massaged) with stock valve train

in fact, my engine builder told me the piston to valve clearance is so tight that the stock rockers will work BUT 1.6 ratios, would not

could i stand more power?

sure

do i need it?

nope

whats my point?

your daughter is going to have a 408 in a street car
i cant imagine that with a good combo she wouldnt be happy, even with the 1.5s
