    0.060" longer roller followers? better ratio?

    So, there I was trying to make sense of the SealedPower catalogue, while deciding on what rebuild kit to go with, when I noticed that they offer roller followers for the (Ranger) roller cam that are 0.060" longer! Would these be higher ratio? If so, I know the 2.3L is a high tolerance motor...
