Jim,

  I hope you get the responses you need with the rockers given out. The data
you gain should be interesting, if you have before and after #'s (0-60 and 1/4
mile times,etc) from each car that receives them. I don't think anyone has
done this, not even the other people who make them.
  That's the bad thing about "performance modifications," do they really help
a stock car or do you have to do many other modifications to reap the benefits
and if they do help how much? BY how much I need some numbers to justify the
added expense.
  I look forward to hearing what you find out.

Tim,

Are you assuming that I have purchased these! And am now willing to give
them away!

No, I make them...money is not the issue...time is. It cost practically
nothing in raw materials to make a set of rockers.

I know this is going to come as a huge shock...but I have a lot of
friends with machine shops...I have helped them when they were at their
wits end!!!
They could care less that I may be a little forth-right...they just
wanted their problem solved.

They reciprocate by allowing me free run of their shops.

I like to think that time is money...so when I say that it costs me
money to have them made...it is an accurate statement.

Jim

Am I the only one wondering what Jim does that he has enough money
laying around to give out 12 sets of roller rockers??
