What rocker arms are the GT40P running as standard?
Shaft, pedestal etc?

I haven't played with these things before so i have no idea, can't be stuffed taking the cover off to see.

Instead of changing cam i'm thinking of just bolting on 1.7 ratio rockers and see what i get out of it.

All pedestal mount. Pressed 1.6 in the lower spec AUs however I believe the later Tickford cars had rollers (mostly 1.6 but some 1.7).

Actually the 200kw motors had the Crane (aka FMS) 1.6:1 rockers, and the 220's had the 1.72:1 Yella Terra rockers.
