i run mine at 16thou with no problems on a SW5

If you are running stock rockers it should be at 12 thou....not 15 thou.
I got this from Swiftune when I got my sw5.


Is that for a small bore or big bore engine? Or is that suitable for both sizes on standard rockers?

Correction....
I found my old email from a couple years back, and I was indeed told 12thou.

But....I emailed them again with the same question yesterday, and the answer is now 15thou.....!?
