Easier and more cost effective to swap the cam to a larger one. You already have rollers anyway.

I know they are roller fulcrum(spelling?) but are they roller tip? I know the LS1 rockers are not roller tip at least.

I think thats what Cammins talking about.

I think that the fulcrum is roller, at least thats what it looked like, I cant remember exactly, but im pretty sure they do not have roller tips. I thought that the were pretty much basic rocker arms. When my brother had his cam and springs changed out I looked at them but I didnt think about seeing if they had tips on them or not.

Probably not enough to make a difference, I would spend the money elsewhere.
