What are your plans for the car? Is the cam the only upgrade you plan on doing?im planing on installing a ford perfomance B303 camshaft in my 1985 4 barrel mustang gt. But want figure out what roller rockers would work best with it?
Not completely sure, just want a little extra power, and the cam sound.Stud or pedestal mount?
Roller rockers will not help you with any of this...Not completely sure, just want a little extra power, and the cam sound.
While this might be true, when talking about his engine he can tell everyone that he has roller rocker arms. So there is that...Roller rockers will not help you with any of this...
LOL, if one of the OP"s request was this I would have agreed with him.... LOLWhile this might be true, when talking about his engine he can tell everyone that he has roller rocker arms. So there is that...
It can be more than that. It is one thing to get less friction from the roller rocker arms compared to stock. The real benefit is in the accuracy of the rocker ratio across all 16 rocker arms. The stamped rocker arms can vary quite a bit, while a QUALITY set of roller rocker arms will be spot on. A lot also depends on how the rockers are set up. Just bolt on and go only gets you so much. If you go through the effort to make sure the swept area of the roller tip is centered on the valve stem, you can lower guide wear and make for more accurate valve timing events. All of the above are especially important on an engine that sees higher than normal engine rpm.My understanding is that true roller rockers might get you a tenth of a second in a full blown race motor...
No arguments from me on that.... My point being that based on what the OP wants to do to his engine, roller rockers are a waste of money, in my opinion....It can be more than that.
