What is the main benefit of using roller rocker arms over stock ones?

Roller rocker arms, like these from COMP Cams, use a needle bearing fulcrum and roller tip. This design significantly reduces friction compared to the sliding contact of stock rocker arms. Less friction helps lower oil temperatures and can lead to improved engine response and horsepower.

What is the valve ratio on these rocker arms?

These COMP Cams High Energy rocker arms feature a 1.5 ratio. This means that for every 1 inch the camshaft lobe moves, the rocker arm multiplies that movement to open the valve 1.5 inches, effectively increasing valve lift.

Are these rocker arms suitable for a high-performance street engine?

Yes, these rocker arms are designed for street use and moderate race applications. They offer improved durability and can withstand up to 550 lbs of open spring pressure, making them a good choice for many performance-oriented street engines.

Product Details

COMP Cams is well-known for making performance engine parts that help you get more out of your build. These High Energy aluminum roller rocker arms are a solid option for anyone working on a Chevrolet Small Block V8 engine, from the 265 up to the 400 cubic inch displacement. They're designed for street use and moderate racing applications, offering a cost-effective way to improve your engine's performance.

What makes these rockers stand out is their construction. They feature a die-cast aluminum body, which is lighter than stock steel rockers but still strong enough for performance use. The real magic happens with the needle bearing fulcrum and roller tip. This setup creates significantly less friction compared to the sliding contact found in factory rocker arms. Less friction means lower oil temperatures, which can lead to improved engine response and a small bump in horsepower. They also help increase valve lift and can handle up to 550 lbs of open spring pressure, making them a durable choice for many builds.

These rocker arms fit a wide range of vehicles, including models like the Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, and Caprice, as well as Buick Regal and Cadillac Brougham. They use a 3/8" stud diameter and have a 1.5 ratio, which helps to open the valves further for better cylinder filling. Snap rings are used to keep the trunnion and bearings securely in place.
