Do roller rockers actually add horsepower? Or is there some other good reason to have them? If they free up horsepower robbing friction, is it worth the same or more power than tuning the engine with timing and jets? Do carb spacers work? Yes they do, but how much power can you really gain? Richard Holdener is putting them all to the test to see how they stack up against each other and to show whether they are worth adding to your combo.
