My friend Jimmy Smith can verify this because he knows when i did it. There's no question in my mind that the roller should run better, it just did not do that in my combination @ 3250 lbs.
Zip.
I think the roller I mentioned won't work..I'm considering Comp's 12-920-9,which is 260,
[email protected],.660,630 with a 106....My current flat tappet combo runs 10.32@130 @2000 ft in a 3125 68 camaro.I agree with you zip about rollers,I don't want to spend $1000 for a tenth.I was hoping for a .15 to.2 gain,if not I won't change to roller.
USE 1.6 ROCKERS AND BRING THAT LIFT UP IN THE 680'S.CALL COMP CAM'S AND TELL THEM YOUR CAR COMBO AND HAVE THEM GRIND A CAM FOR YOU.THATS WHAT I DID IT COST ALITTLE MORE BUT WELL WORTH IT.JUST MY 2 CENTS.
