INTENSE Third Generation Full Roller Rocker
Arms
More than a year in development, our Third Gen rocker arms are
the absolute highest quality and precision available anywhere at
any price. INTENSE Third Gen Rocker Arms are being manufactured
for us in the U.S.A. by Harland Sharp - the originator of roller
tip rocker arms for race engines way back in 1960.
Harland Sharp rocker arms are precision machined and hand assembled
to provide you with the quality product you deserve. The rocker
bodies are aluminum, with a red anodized finish. The complete rocker
arms are much beefier than stock, and still weigh 10.3% less (7.0
ounces versus 7.8 ounces each).
The 1.90:1 INTENSE Full Roller Rocker Arms are a complete
bolt-on kit that should increase top end power by at least 20 to
25 wheel horsepower on a supercharged vehicle and 10-15 wheel horsepower
on a naturally aspirated vehicle - depending on what other modifications
have been performed. Click here for our first dyno session with
Third Gen's showing a net gain of 23 wheel horsepower (29 crank
horsepower) with NO OTHER CHANGES on a mildly modded Bonneville
SSEi. Supercharged cars with smaller pulleys, aftermarket PCM's
and free-flowing exhaust can expect even larger gains. Stock 3800
camshaft lobe lifts are .258", giving theoretical stock valve
lifts of .413". These full roller rocker arms provide actual
valve lifts of .490". No valve lash adjustments are required
with these rocker arms. We highly recommend the use of LS6 Medium
Load Valvesprings with 1.90:1 ratio INTENSE Full Roller Rocker
Arms to help reduce the chance of valve float in your motor.
Our full roller rocker arms have no valve cover clearance issues
and do not require the use of custom valve covers or spacers. They
maintain perfect valvetrain geometry and work fine with stock, lightweight
or oil-restricted pushrods. For best performance with INTENSE
Full Roller Rocker Arms, use our Oil-restricted pushrods if you
have stock lifters, or our Lightweight pushrods if you are running
CompCams lifters. The needle bearing fulcrum and roller tip reduces
friction, lowers engine oil temperature, increases horsepower and
raises engine speed potential.
NOTES:
- We recommend the use of LS6 Medium Load Valvesprings with 1.90:1
ratio INTENSE Full Roller Rocker Arms to help reduce the chance
of your motor having valve float.
- INTENSE Full Roller Rocker Arms are sold as a complete
kit, with new mounting plates (6), pedestals (12), bolts (12) and
rocker arms (12). Nothing else is required for installation, except
in some cases where the valve cover gaskets may not be reusable.
- No special tools are required for installation with the exception
of a 1/4" male hex driver and a torque wrench. Simply torque
the rocker arm bolts to 25 foot-pounds and the valve cover bolts
to 89 inch-pounds.
- We recommend your INTENSE Third Generation Full Roller
Rocker Arms be installed by a competent professional. These parts
can typically be installed with normal hand tools in 2.0 to 6.0
hours, but much care is required and there is opportunity for things
to go wrong.
- INTENSE Third Generation Full Roller Rocker Arms are warranted
for LIFE against manufacturing defects. The warranty provides for
replacement rocker arms only, and does not cover labor or any other
costs. Purchaser and Installer assume all liability with regard
to any and all damages in any way related to the purchase, installation
and/or use of these rocker arms.
- If aftermarket valvesprings are used, they must retain the stock
type conical (beehive) shape or valvespring to rocker arm clearance
problems will result.
*** INTENSE Third Gen Rocker Arms will fit any 1995-present
3800 Series II engine, or 2004-present Series III engine. No piston,
cylinder head, or pushrod, changes are required to use the 1.90:1
rockers. We recommend the use of LS6 Medium Load Valvesprings with
1.90:1 rockers.
