If I were you I would edit the name of this title then. Rockers are EASY to install. Pull the valve covers off, remove old rockers, install new rockers with reusable rocker bolts, reinstall valve covers, done. Easy 20hp.

Not a hard job, the rears can be a pain to get to.
You'll also want to get new valve cover gaskets and some rtv.
Also when you take the old rockers off, you should use a couple q-tips to clean out the oil in the bolt holes so that you get a better TQ reading.

after doing some reading what all do i have to remove to get to the valve covers... looking back at other posts on this forum it don't seem as EASY as what people say.
i have to remove the engeine mount/fuel rail/super charger/fuel enjecters/and some misc things as well

You are right, it isn't just the valve covers. To get to mine I need to disconnect the icm. Remove the coil pack bracket and tensioner. You will need to remove the supercharger belt as well. For the back nothing else should be needed. The alternator should be ok, I have not messed with the rear in a while. The supercharger/injectors/fuel rail all will stay on. You may also need to disconnect the gas lines so you don't mess them up. Its not terrible, and very hard to mess up, you just have to take your time, and set aside a few hours for it since it is your first time.
