the ones on your car look like a house brand maybe from summit or jegs the roller tip will free up a few horses. theirs really no way of telling you the ratio though.

i'd leave the roller tipped ones on there for sure, and look up how to set valve lash and then they won't make any noise, just tightening them randomly may cause issues with valves hanging open slightly
