DHP or Dreamcat's rockers???

Both are around $200, and i think i need to buy something off intense for the rockers to go well... what do you guys think? I was changing my mind because i am quite happy with my low end torque, I just need something for up top. And $200 is not a lot. What do you guys think... and what would i need exactly from Intense?

thanks

I would like to see them go on at a dyno day to verify the HP they produce. Get a baseline run then add the rockers...Syp can see exactly what hes paying for. I think it would be interesting....There are alot of posts on rockers....A little independent ILGPC tech post..Hmmmmmm ;)
 
Just my opinion but I would think you would actually feel the rockers gain. I would go with them. I see a computer as only helping if you need it to support other mods, it isn't really a mod of it's own.... sort of like a IC, it works really well if you have other things that need it.

Im not saying this to upset any of you, but this is what I have noticed. Rockers are a clear mechanical gain.

It really depends on what you consider a mod, jared.

If you just want expanded daily driving ability, speed limiter removal, different shifting, skip shifting, fan optimization for a new t-stat, etc, then a pcm is definitely its own mod.

If you want a pure HP adder then the rockers probably are going to edge out the pcm in HP production. We only get 8 - 12 on a GT/L36 depending on the setup. Closer to 12 - 15 on a GTP based on mods, etc.

The 1.0 calibrations however, were not tuned with rockers in mind for either application.

Bottom line is that it will depend on the goal of the car. If you want brute power, rockers are better.

I really appreciate you insight, Charles, but I don't really consider a GT or a SE as a car worth modding, Charles.

YEah, it really is cool how the DHP raises your rev limiter, so you are in each gear longer....it really transformed my car. Plus the skip shifting is sweet as hell.


Top end though I think rockers will give you a ltitle more edge......daily driving and stop light races up to 50-60 id go with a PCM...

IF this is a really great deal from dreamcat though....get those first cause itll cost you more latter.........put id listen to HALE and get the gasket covers($15) and the other things he was talking about.
