Vette(s): 1960 (got wiped out in the Rapid City flood of 72), 1968 roadster(sold it so I could buy the 71), 1971 Coupe Chromed almost everything underneath. Had it since "76"
Have any of you guys put a set of Comp cams roller tip rockers on your ride? Do they seem to make a bit of a differance in your performance? |headscratch|
If it's not painted, Chrome it!!!

Vette(s): 1975 C3 Red, T-Tops, Black Interior. All I need is time and money! Getting there!
I don't have them. But they do cut friction on the cam and lifter surface. Any power you don't use inside the engine gets out the crankshaft. So yes, they do help.

Vette(s): 1971 coupe. Fully restored, numbers match
I have roller rockers and I love them but remember you will need a spacer for your valve covers or tall covers

I have a set of roller tips in my 350. Stock Aluminum valve covers (with drippers) fit fine. Quieter, smoother, and (I believe) perform better.
