from what i've read roller tips aren't that beneficial. Not till you get the roller fulcrum, will that help free up some hp. maybe try a search to see what you can come up with.

The only thing I can say about the roller tips are that they won't wear out the valve guides as fast because they roll over the valve stem rather than push over the top.

The FULCRUM is the point of pivot.... Basically the ROLLER FOLCRUM is the part that connects the rocker itself, to the rocker stud. And the rocker rolls as is rocks up and down like a bearing.
Much less friction than a standard rocker nut/thing that goes undeneath it (don't remember the name of it)
