Hey, the Barton/TD Roller Rockers are top of the line stuff. I don't see the down side to using them on the street. Yes they are more money but at least you only have to buy the rockers once.
No sense on skimping when it comes to Hemi Valve train, it will cost you now or later, and LATER is usually more expensive.

Just my opinion.




I used stock narrow pad rockers for over 30 years no problems. last motor had over 300 passes with a roller




Fred, I'm not saying that the stockers won't work. But say he wants to race the car down the road and ends up going with a .780 roller, wouldn't he would be further ahead having the better rockers already on the motor.

I believe you should choose the cam based on your performance needs. If you are going to do a mild 600 hp build with a solid cam you really don't need the Barton set up but since you practically stole them its no loss. If you are building a mild build you could sell the Bartons for a profit. I'm sure you could get a good price for them. They look like new.
I have a pump gas 528 with a 700 roller. The motor made 845 hp on Bartons dyno. The car is very streetable but very loud. It doesn't bother me but my wife doesn't like the noise.
The power is more than most people need on the street. What is you intended use for the motor?

I don't know why everyone is saying they are way overkill or not needed? I have them in my "street" motor with a solid lift cam? When you don't have anything i would rather spend the extra 3-400 on the t&d/Bartons then on a stock type setup. I have about 8000 miles on my junk and never had a single problem

They are a great setup. As usual with T&D stuff, the quality is exemplary.

While I do see the point of those that think they are overkill in some cases, you can never go wrong over spending on the hardest working part in any high performance engine-mild or wild. And that is the rocker gear. I have lived through the headaches of the stock hemi rocker gear that was killing the pushrods, galling the tips, poor geometry, ratio inconsistencies and so on. When you look at it between the long pushrods at crazy angles, it's a small wonder the stuff held together as good as it did.

If you really want to talk overkill, everytime I hear about the guys barely making 650HP with a Bryant crank, well, that's more of a case of overkill.
