Tons of /4 rocker arm Questions......, stock /4 ratio, variance between sets... Options

[Mueller]

I was going to use the Pauter roller rocker arms
(ratio of 1.5:1) but decided to sell them since the money in my pocket would be better right now than the money in my motor (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

1)I thought I read that the stock /4 arm are supposed to be 1.3:1..is this correct?

2)How often are they the correct ratio?

3)What is the biggest difference has anyone seen?

4)Would the /4 benifit from using different ratio arms on the intake and exhaust (example: stock ratio on intake, 1.5 ratio on exhaust)?

5)What improvements can be made to the stock arms?

6)Is there an interest in modified/blueprinted stock arms?

7)Is there an interest in non-stock ratio stock type arms?

8)Pauter already offers 1.5:1 aluminum arms, but is there a market for different ratio aluminum arms?

I just visited the Pauter web site and realized that they already do something that I thought would be a good idea for an aircooled flat-four motor : "... tremendously strong foundation provided by the one-piece block ".

Pauter big block is for drag racing only.
