I know a lot of people against roller rockers but why not use the hydraulic roller rockers from Comp. Cams and not the mech. roller rockers. I think the way prices are for building these motors and gas to get to the track we should all vote for reliablity keeping things together and not worry about stock class cars are knocking on the door of super stock! my 2 cents! also we should allow larger studs because of spring pressures. And another thing if you want to run pure stock they have it in IHRA. Not trying to start trouble just my say.

I think we are talking about roller rockers vice OE rockers, not roller lifters vice flat tappet. However, I still feel the same...QUIT CHANGING THE RULES...or go Super Stock racing!

When they let the valve job rule go, not much was mentioned about it. Mention roller rockers and suddenly we are becoming Super Stockers. If people were suggesting allowing any ratio, I would agree, but there is a negligible performance improvement going to rollers of the same ratio. IHRA has already gone this way, as far as I can tell there hasn't been a drastic drop in ETs as a result.

We cannot change the past (unless your into revisionist history), but we can affect the future...STOP THE RULE CHANGES...or go race Super (Pro) StocK, or bracket race with no rules!

This poll should be in the competition member section. If you don't have a $15,000+ engine to blow up and oil the track delaying everybodys racing, you shouldn't vote in this poll. The train left years ago as far as what was stock.

No on roller rockers, get a cam with a softer ramp and you will reduce the breakage. there are other ways to keep the rockers breaking besides using Jessel rockers. Besides Jeff, you race super stock you dont have a dog in this fight anymore. I wouldn't think it would matter to you.

Still have a Stock number and am involved with several Stockers, including another '70 AMX with my old engine. And I do agree, with a softer ramp you will lessen the breakage. But then again, you will go slower. That's based on my experience anyways.

No roller rockers, I have Holyrod stuff and a great engine builder, rev that monster to 8,000 in B/SA and no breakage (yet). We had roughly 20 A-B-C cars over the weekend at a D-1 race and did not hear of one broken rocker on the big blocks,(some dead batteries) lol. Leave stock alone and find the solution to your the problem.
