You also have less guide wear because you are not draging the rocker across the tip of the valve.instead it rolls.
You do end up with a little bit of valve train noise that was never there before .but it is not much.

Ok, So essintially there is the "cool factor" which is not to be underated, but if you change ratios you can bump the specs on the cam a bit and essintially pick up a ponie or two with somewhat less valvetrain wear.
Thanks.. I always wanted to ask just never had the chance. I just thought it was along the lines of folks buying the "noisy" gear drives over the quiet ones.

I found acceleration and power developement to increase with the use of roller rockers. I would reccommend the larger hole roller for high lift cams. I have gotten gains on a small lift camshaft but not enough to justify the use of a roller rocker.
