hey everyone. my dads buick turbo t has been sittin for 10 years.. we had reacently got it running and drivable. it was a 12.50 car before it sat.
the valve covers have never been off the car and my dad now wants to to roker arms on it, he wants to have the effect of a "poor mans cam"

are the stock ones ajustable? if not where can i find ones with an upgraded ratio?

T&D and Scorpion make arms like you are asking about. The stockers are not adjustable. However, this is really not the best bang for the buck. You can easily go a full second (or more!) faster without even touching the cam, rockers, etc. And as you can see, these rockers are pretty expensive.

If you look at our "performance recipes", we have some proven mixes of parts and adjustments that can help get your car faster with the least amount of hard parts.
