ABSTRACT:
A variable ratio rocker assembly for increasing the amount of air entering a combustion cylinder. The rocker assembly includes a rocker arm adapted to move a valve between a closed position and an open position, a radiused follower adapted to interact with a portion of the rocker arm, and a push rod for moving the follower in response to a camshaft. The follower causes the rocker arm to move the valve between the closed position and the open position.
