Message:
are the roller rockers in the R/T equivalent to the 1.6 ratios? I want to replace the cam and was wondering if i need to upgrade the roller rockers to the 1.6 or would stock be fine?

Might as well upgrade to roller rockers while you are in there. The stock rockers on the R/T are 1.6 ratio, but are not roller rockers.

Stock is 1.6, non-roller. Upgrading to Roller is recommened, especially if going with a new cam. I sell the Crower 1.6/1.7 ratio rockers, stainless.

If cost is a factor, you coudl look into the Crane/Mopar rockers. Not as high of quality as the Crowers, but nice no the less. I have the 1.6 Mopars on my truck, and they work good, and you will probably never have a problem with them. They come complete with guide plates, and new pushrods for around $350-$400. Only problem with them is they don't come with instructions, and you have to double nut on the studs which sucks because the nuts they supply SUCK.

actually i would like to find reputable mechanic around here. i dont have the tools or the knowledge to do this myself. i would also like to do the roller rockers, cam, M1 and valve covers all at once.
eventually i want to get new ported heads on but that will be a little while down the road.

Unless you are extracting every last ounce of performance I don't see how the 1.6 roller rockers are worth the money. The 1.7's effectively increase cam lift so they do add power, but the 1.6 rollers only help with friction and I don't think there is that much to be had in the rockers. Personally I wish they made stamped steel 1.7 rockers, that would be a good bang for the buck mod there, about $130 for probably 20 hp and easy install. Plus no durability problems like on the aluminum rockers.
