1.6 rockers with this combo?

I don’t think you’ll get more mid range in any meaningful amount to jump and shout about but you should gain some top end. This amount is completely dependent on the head flow numbers to even guess about. Plain and simple, if the head supports more air and fuel flow, you’ll make more power up top.

Personally, if you dyno this engine, I got $5 that it’ll make 430+HP. Might see 450.

What are you doing for header pipe size? 1-3/4?
That’s where I’d go.

Yeah, kinda seems like it will probably just shift the cam operating RPM range to the right.
I would be very happy with anything in 430-450 range. I'm putting in a light weight flywheel from Brewers and a McLeod twin disc. I'm planning on spinning it 6500rpm maybe a little more if cam and heads are still producing.
I have the TTI 3/4 step headers, the 3" TTI x pipe, straight into 2 super 44's and dumped in front of rear axle.

Don't the Edelbrock heads use long 11/32 stem single groove chevy valves anyway, lolol? Stock flow with Eddy heads is 240-243 between .600 to .700 according to the contributors here who have listed them on the small block head flow chart pages here.

Something would have to be redone beyond mild cleanup to change the peak flow characteristics. So 3.90 gears and 28X11.50 et's. Mike at B3 will also have some input on the stagggered ratios, but I'm somewhat confident it mostly applies to the SB Chev world. Speaking of Hughes, I imagine Dave probably has tried staggered rocker ratios, too, being they sale roller rockers. What I have noticed is I haven't came across staggered rocker sets for LA engines like with some other engines.

Yes they are the 11/32 so little lighter.
I agree I don't think the port work is going to be a game changer and maybe in the future I should go with a port matched Victor intake.
Yeah I might give Dave a call and ask him about rocker stagger thats a good idea.

You would have to try the rockers to see. May add something...or nothing...or stay the same.
They will add 2-3* of effective duration & a little more lift.

Sounds like the 1.6's are going on, only question now is whether or not to stagger? I wonder what effect staggering will have on the duration.
