The ERA I bought came with a roller cam. A roller broke and I was very lucky it did not destroy my engine. AFTER that I found out solid roller rockers are OFTEN a problem in ANY engine. Technology is advancing and there are better designs available for roller rockers now than there were even last year.

You know what? I don't care! Unless your drag racing I cannot see WHY one would even RISK having them

With roller rockers in the 1/4 mile: 11.90
With my new flat tappet cam 1/4 mile: 11.99

I will never again RISK MY MOTOR for a freaking 100th of a second by using a roller cam. Been there, done that, PAID big money to find out I don't want to go back.
