Anyone doing roller tip LT rockers?
I think Texas Speed sells some. I have always had good success with Yella Terra on LS motors. Not much experience on GenV LT's yet as far as valvetrains go. I like the new Gen 2 BTR trunion upgrades which feature hardened bearings over the previous gens. But at least for a stock cam curious if roller tip is even worth it if doing a valvetrain upgrade? I plan on doing a top-end complete valvetrain upgrade but trying to get exact specs and understanding for a stock cam (I don't need to swap a cam I am good power-wise) are there better spring options also? Can we get dual springs on stock cam profile? Specs? I searched and don't see much out there for stock cams what people are doing I know most just upgrade cams to lose Dod and take VVT out as well. I can swap a cam but I don't really want to go through all that labor until I need to (lifter stuck, etc). I make enough power so just looking to make the best choice of upgrades up top.
When it's all said and done I will share what path I go down and purchase. Maybe it will help someone like me in the future. I know plenty don't like to share specs but I don't mind sharing what I find works for me especially if it helps our community.

Robert, I did get my new 18" signature SV108's and ordered my MT 325 35 18 Street R's today those should be in by Wed. So I hope to get it all together by next weekend and try to get some 1/4 mile times soon! Being an M7 not looking for much just to break the 9's. Thanks for always helping bud!
