    roller rockers are great if you put an aftermarket cam in and without you would rip the studs out of your heads...... they dont really make HP alone, but with a roller cam, roller lifters, roller rockers, full roller chain with rolling cam plate... then they all help each other out to make things wind up quicker... not neccisarily more HP but they reduce friction to help the engine accelerate faster
    just because your car is faster, doesn't mean i cant outdrive you... give me a curvy mountain road and i'll beat you any day

    Also keep in mind that about half the time you go to a 1.6 rocker the pushrod holes need to be elongated so the rods don't rub/bind on the head, not hard to do but it does need to be done on the bench.
