Roller Rockers - Lateral-g Forums

I'm making a list of items that I still need to finish my car. One thing I was debating about getting was a set of roller rockers. How much would they help on a street car. It will be a L92 or LS3 (depending on if I keep the VVT or not) and should be 550 or so hp. Thanks.

Mike, I don't know how necessary they are on LS motors. I had my stockers rebuilt by Harland Sharp with different bearings that are more durable than the needle bearings, and its cheaper than full roller rockers.

Mike --

I wouldn't change 'em......

Unless you're planning on really hammering the thing and high revs etc. Spend you're money on something that will count for more.

I went with the comp cams trunion kit on mine, it's like $130 bucks and easy to do.

Thanks guys. Another item I can cross off the list of don't needs.

I'm going against the grain here - anyone who digs high revvin', hammer the throttle motoring can benefit from a set of rollers on a 11.4:1 compression motor. You'll only get limited HP bump, but they're so smooth and they rev so nice I would not build a motor any different. My personal opinion is they protect your valve train from unnecessary damage.

Flame away guys...

I will definitely give those a look though. $130 much better than $500.
