I didn't think you were supposed to run ratio rockers with a 110. Thought that cam called for 1.1?

I ran the 1.4 with a 110 about 2 months ago. Seemed like I might have lost some torque and bottom end smoothness and maybe a little more top end get up and go. I'm back on 1.1 and hope I didnt wipe the cam...

That also depends on what size engine you're running also, it may work great on large engines but smaller ones?? I dunno. I just run an Engle FK-7 and love it!!

Engle says to run the 1.1:1 or 1.25:1 only with the W110.
Since I have a shop I really need to go by their guidelines.
I am getting reay to build a 2332 for a customer and will use the W110 and CB's 1:3-1 rockers.
I really like the CB rockers but they quit making the pro style, with the adjuster on the pushrod, 1.25.
Only available in 1.3 or 1.4 now.

Thats the very same combo & comp. ratio in my boy's buggy. Been together 4(5?) yrs now no problems yet. Runs like a scalded dog when he opens it up and lugs pretty good too w/ a stock geared 6 rib. 1.4's are fine on a 110 with the right heads. Some run even more rocker than that on them cams. :wink:
