ROLLER TIP
or ROLLER ROCKERS (FULL ON)
Roller tip-FITS
Roller Rockers-need work to fit under valve covers.
You'll never get rid of that dead spot from 2500-3500, you'll get more top end breathing. But, ya gotta compensate "cam" with exhaust, ignition & air coming in.
How are your valve springs?

Yeah, don't just look at "gross lift" when you work in your rockers; cams have different durations for each lobe, and that's what makes camshafts different. Gross lift can vary; lift @ 0.050 is usually the "standard", so ignore gross lift altogether.

MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE, you have more stronger RPMS at top end.
It's the seat of pants feel you seek.
Only you will know that answer.
Find yourself a test road.
Do before and after testing.
HP is only a number.
You want increased torque and better, smoother engine breathing entire RPM range.
Let us know how it feels!
No prob on the tip rockers.
You got 1.6?
Simple.
Check motion thru observation of rockers w/o covers.
Turn over engine by hand on crank.
Should could be ok!
