It's an easy bolt in and it's worth the time. THe gain you get will depend on the combo tyour running, but you will see some gain.

There was a issue in Mopar Muscle about a year ago, simple bolt ons for a 71 Charger with a 440. It included chassis dyno pulls after every swap, one being 1.6 roller rockers, over stock stamped factorys. It neted a little over 5 horses. This was a factory 71 engine, with a street cam and stock intake and carb. The tweaking of the carb neted double what the rocker arms made. I dont think you will feel any improvements on the street. You may see a few 1/100 th's at the track. Still a good upgrade, If you have the money go for it.
