NOw that we got that settled. lol. Yeah pretty much all rockers have needle bearings in the fulcrum part of the rocker but most factory apps just use the friction tip. Thats why there is minimal gain by going to roller rockers for the most part cause all the power you are gaining is just from the roller tip unless you go to an accelerated ratio rocker.

We will have to see about that. I could just buy some used steel wheels and throw an old set of slicks on it. i wouldn't have to launch it hard, just have them to keep from blowing them off.
All in all, I guess it's going to say enough that I will be building the motor that may outrun myself.

Slicks would be just for getting it moving. I won't make an attempt at frying the clutch. It will probably slip between shifts with the slicks anyway.
