rocker arms

k so i was looking through cardomain and i saw somebody who took their stock rocker arms and went at them with like a dremel or something and shaved a couple ounces off of each one. Im j/w if that is worth it or even safe to do.

it's safe if you know what your doing, you can **** up the ratio, and slot real easy (ratio is the amount that the rocker has to move compared to the distance it moves the valve) gain is probably minimal due to huge variance in accuracy (changing ratio would be like changing cams)
