Roller Rockers in Stock

[Aubrey N Bruneau]

Once again, I'm going to be offering an opinion in an area that I shouldn't... but that's OK... as long as it makes people laugh.
Right now, isn't pretty much anybody running fast, running the absolute most duration in their cam that they can, due of course to piston-to-valve clearance ????? To me, the guidelines on pistons will ALWAYS set the limit there... and as long as NHRA keeps the piston monitored, more duration just isn't in the cards. That, I think, is good. Seperates us from Super Stock.
So.... roller rockers, in one way or another, brining about another 1000 RPM ?... even 500 ?
Can't see it.
Perhaps a couple hundred, but unlikely in the form of a completely altered torque curve.
For me, just providing reliability when buzzing that last 300-400 RPM over the shift point, when passing through the traps.
A LITTLE piece of mind at 120+ MPH !

Alan... as usual, a little over my head ! HEE HEE !
Though, I DO know exactly what you're talking about with the "variable ratio" rocker arm. INGENIOUS, if you ask me !
Money has always seperated the real players from people like me. I'm OK with that.

BTW... Have I ever mentioned that EVERY TIME I read this message board, I learn something ..... ? !

great place !
