I have a stock 1996 Camaro RS 3800 engine. I have stamped rocker arms. I have no idea what fits or what I can replace them with, do you have ideas? suggestions? All I know is I would like to have rollers in, probably have to replace the push rods as well.

Re: What roller rocker arms should I buy?
Thanks for the link. I didn't know if I could just replace the arms and rods without any other modifications (regarding ratios, bigger covers to support them, etc) and if they'll mount to the current studs. I took my Valve Covers off to inspect what was underneath and figured I'd replace those stock stamped ones.
Not considering a cam upgrade and I have no idea what ratios I can/should go with. Looks like the default is 1.6.

Re: What roller rocker arms should I buy?
So why exactly are you trying to replace them?
You know it's never a good idea to just mindlessly voluntarily start swapping parts without cause/reason/ or a goal in mind...

Re: What roller rocker arms should I buy?
They do look pretty cool Mike :) I'm actually considering a set of rollers with a VS cam. My thoughts are that they will take up the slack in the higher RPMs where the VS stops making power. After the troubles you've been having passing emissions, I thought this solution would give me the power I want while passing the idle and 2500 RPM test. I haven't researched it much yet though. Might be a bad combination.

Rockers are nice if you use them with a cam, by themselves I don't know they'll give you too much...
