They just aren't the best option for a n/a engine.
You'll want to do the springs if you move the shift points past 6k with 1.9s. And that'* what you'll have to do to get the most out of that ratio..

You'll want to do springs even if you do not go past 6k rpm'*. I didn't have an air compressor, so I didn't install the springs and have experienced some valve float.

I think I will end up going with the ER rockers for the time being. When I go with the turbo, I can always sell the ERs. Do the ERs require springs or pushrods???

He also stated that if you do experience valve float, 85-90lb springs on the intake valves ONLY will solve this. (The intake valve weighs more)
I believe at least two people on this forum (tj'sblackbonnie and firebuick) have run ERs in conjunction with stock springs without issue.

Mike, is right. I had ER rockers on stock springs and Don (firebuick) also does.
They worked fine (and my car being a 95 shifts higher then others. I was seeing shifts as high as 5950 with no issues)
PS--- I loved my ER rockers, and would reccommend them to any L36 looking into a cheap and effective mod.

Im hoping with my head and intake mods, that the ER rockers will be that little extra that I am looking for. Would hotter coils make any difference at this point?
