Interesting article on hydraulic roller vs hydraulic cam.

Some  interesting  rational for hyd roller vs hyd cam.  No break in.  The profile of the roller allowing to more/better fuel and air flow. Less wear.

If you're going to replace a flat tappet cam, it only makes sense to step up to the roller for all the reasons mentioned.
The price is still about double but far less than just a few years ago as they become more main stream.

If going to a roller can and lifters, whats your thought on the rockers?  Are you going that route on you engine build?

I already had a set of 1.6 Comp roller rockers so they are going in my new build.
