roller rockers with 10088113 heads
What roller rockers is everybody using for these heads. It's a 1990 corvette tpi. Just hoping to pick up some knowledge. Looking for somthing cheap. I'm thinking stamped roller tip so I can fit under stock value covers. But I'm not sure yet. What should I get. Full roller or roller tip? Self aligning? Or run guide plates?

Re: roller rockers with 10088113 heads
If your heads have guide plates then use guide plates and non self aligning (NSA) rockers.
Roller tip rockers really are not that great. Not really worth the price. If you can find a good deal on used ones sure go for it, better than stock, but not worth the $120-180 price tag.
If you got to buy new, I would go with a good brand full roller. No proform, pro comp, etc.
Only comp cams, crane, luntia, howards, harland sharp, scorpion.

I just want the increased lift. That I heard a 1.6 will give. Figured roller tip would be cheap and increase power. Will full roller 1.6 increase power over roller tip 1.6

Re: roller rockers with 10088113 heads
full roller rockers are big. in some cases you find that they wont fit under the valve covers, meaning you need those butt ugly tall ones, THEN your accessory brackets may not fit. it can get to be a real PITA fast.

Re: roller rockers with 10088113 heads
Yes a full roller will give you more gains than a roller tip will. Don't look for big 40 HP gains or nothing like that, but I could see a good 15-20 HP gain from the full roller, bigger ratio rocker arm

Re: roller rockers with 10088113 heads
You mentioned guide plates in your 1st post.
Do you have guide plates or no?
Here is ones for use with out guide plates, and narrow body to work with most stock center bolt valve covers.

Re: roller rockers with 10088113 heads
The L98 heads do not flow very well past .500" lift. So no real reason in looking at big lift number cams. It will just be valvetrain stress with no real gain.
.490" to .515" max lift range
But duration and LSA matters more than lift anyway.
The duration must match your compression and engine size.. What engine do you have?
Here you say 350, in another post asking this same question you say 305?
I know you want the wild race car sounding car, but it's gonna kill off what power you do have.
With your 9.5:1 305 the biggest I would run would be something like a 218/224 @.050" with a 110 or 112 LSA.
These cams would work good.

You can go bigger but you will kill power. The 305's tiny bores can't move air at high RPM so why use a big cam to shift the power up to a higher RPM range that your engine can't breath at.
If it is a 350 with 9.5 to 10.0 compression then you can go about 5-6 degrees bigger and be ok

Re: roller rockers with 10088113 heads
I found a ZZ3 in town that a guy had for sale for $300 so i bought it. the cam specs on a ZZ3 and ZZ4 are the same. 208*/221* @ 0.050 lift and .474"/.510" of lift with 1.5 rockers. this cam is start of the end of a stock TPI's RPM range. a ZZ3 emission legal conversion is good for 308 horsepower around 5,100 RPM with a carb but on a TPI the peak horsepower in emission legal trim is about 290-300 horsepower around 4,900 RPM. unless your TPI is modified a ZZ3 is about the biggest you wanna go assuming you have a roller cam block. plus anything bigger in duration requires gears and a torque converter. LT1 cams are cheap and dont require new valve spring for the .450" of lift the cam has. also i bought a set PRW roller tipped, self aligning (because i dont have guideplates) rockers for my ZZ3 1.5 ratio. 1.6 ratio would bind my valve springs. for about $120 they are chromoly, thick and very strong. not full rollers but way better than stamped steel ones
