Big job to be paying somebody to do it especially for little gain and you would need a tune to get maximum benefit .

Better value for money having alloy heads fitted at same time and matching a cam to your head choice.

What factors did you consider to bring you to these two camshafts? You need to factor in tuning software & dynontime as well, I would budget 3-4K if you can't do the job yourself.

Yer I think I might settle with sum 1.7 roller rockers instead I don't have that budget now.,the yella terras are too expensive I was looking at scorpion but are there any other good brands for rockers..an is it 3/8 I want in stud size for a straight fit for a AU 5.0
Is it cheaper to get them on ebay or who else would sell them
