Hi i thought id like to share my sucess with using mitsubishi galant rocker arms instead of the sigma ones on the Ts magna.
I worked it out to be approx 1.7 to 1 ratio so i get nearly 20% more lift. With the std cam im getting estimated 10% power gain mostly above 4-6000 but has more mid range throttle response with little to no loss in torque down low and maye slightly more possibly placebo.
cut off about 1/2 a second up to 100 and noticable more above i wont say what speed.
this cost me a total of $25 and i know its not normally done as im using solid tappets on a hydraulic roller cam but ill be getting a proper stage 1 cam in a fewmths so if the cam gets worn oh well.
cant be too good on the springs but it rarel;y sees over 4000rpm as its a torquey motor not a high rever so the extra lift gives it more usable power over a wider range.
