Gosh, if we allow aftermarket rocker arms, everybody could have 9/16" studs. (or 1" studs!)

(If you don't see the satire in that last satement, don't respond.)

I understand your point Dwight, and yes, I see the satire.

I'm just not convinced that roller rockers will be good for the class. With the options it opens up, I think it will hurt those people who don't have an unlimited budget, and those who build their own engines and don't have the knowledge or resources to take advantage of those options. I do not agree that allowing roller rockers won't change things a great deal. If it wasn't going to bring about considerable change, no one would ask for them.

There's a lot of smoke and mirrors involved, you're right about that.

If nothing else, this has been a great discussion, with plenty of good points, and few, if any, personal attacks. I may or may not agree with what has been posted, but I do respect and appreciate the majority of it, and I can see where it is coming from. Regardless of what happens, I hope the discussion at least helped more people see more of what goes on. I've had my say, and I will now respectfully bow out of the discussion.
