Default roller rockers worth the coin?

getting towards the end of my 80" build. running 595 lift cams with 11.1 compression. Are the roller rockers worth the investment?

I put them in my 93in motor after I changed rocker box gaskets & observed accelerated wear on the rocker arm faces. That's with a Wood W9 580 lift cam & 180 lbs. valve seat pressure. Motor has a fairly quiet valve train with the rollers, too.

So how many cams do you have in that motor?????

As for the roller rockers they will let you rev up faster (not really needed in street application) and from what I hear they will quiet down the valve train noise a bit.
Worth it probably not but what the hell it's only money right???

The next time I go into my motor I'm gonna put some in just to see what happens.

I'm a fan of them myself once you go past .585 lift, but that's just me. I'm running a .631 lift Woods cam and a .640 S&S in my two motors.
