I hear a lot of guys saying that, yet they leave the cost part out of the equation. For a 440, I can put in a relatively hot street cam and still run it with stock rockers. Do a roller and I need $$$ retrofit roller lifters, more expensive cam and an adjustable valvetrain. Seems even if I cheaped out as hard as possible I'd still be in an extra $1-1.5 k.
