$700 back

just got a check in the mail from gm chevy performance because they said the ZZ5 crate motor i bought was 30hp short of the claimed 400hp they advertise!

the $700 is to cover adding roller rockers which they say will bump the hp up to where it should be.

Re: $700 back

Well that is cool of them to do. Are they suggesting 1.6 roller rockers to bump the HP? For $700 you could upgrade the cam and add roller rockers. That is if you do the work yourself. But I suppose that would void your warranty.

they said it was to cover the roller rockers upgrade.

I see the new ZZ6 motor comes with the roller rockers now along with a larger carb. They bumped up the Holly 750 to a Holly 770.

I think I will do the same except instead of bumping up the carb I was thinking EFI

thoughts?
