I own an ed xr8, was wondering if the 1.7:1 roller rockers are a good little upgrade?

No, give them to me ;)

Yes they are an upgrade, fit them along with some other AU parts (throttle body, MAF, injectors, manifold, heads) and you'll make a significant difference. By themselves.. won't be all that noticeable.

Lol, ok cool.
So, ed's dont have roller rockers or followers? or did that all start with the au's?
Im just thinkin bout doin a little top end work with probley just stage 1 or 2 cam. are them trick flow manifolds a good fit?

They do have roller lifters, rockers no. The AU 220kw V8 got the Yella Terra 1.72:1 non adjustable rockers. The trickflow manifolds fit but due to being made for a mustang the top has to be spun around
