cam vs rockers

Would installing a set of 1.6 roller tip rockers
Be equivelant to installing a cam if not
How much difference in hp are we talking about.

Re: cam vs rockers

its not the equivelent....roller help a little, give you extra lift to your valves...but a cam is always a better option....you can't judge how much horsepower because every motor is different...If you put a large cam in a car with stock intake, heads, and exhaust, it will probably hurt it more than help it....you have to match everything to get the best power....for stock everything...1.6 rollers are probably the best option..
