Solid roller ??'s Good for juice? spring size? etc..
Ok, first off, i want to ask...
on a 375 cid iron block built for nitrous, would a solid roller setup be worthwhile price wise?
next, when you go with a solid roller setup, whats included? different rocker's, lifters, etc?
what's the recomended vavlespring, or do the kits come with springs? can you use a double coil?
thanks alot guys.

Im no expert, but since no one has chimed in yet I will go ahead.
Solid roller cams have more agressive lobes, while using a solid lifter. This causes the need for bigger and stronger springs.
Hope this helps, but if Im wrong someone please correct me.

im sorry, i should have clarified.
im looking to use the biggest spring i can. I want to use a double coil spring, i just wasnt sure if the solid roller kits came with their own spring, or if they could be setup to use a double coil.
but thanks for your input

Well I will give ya a run down of what you need.
Solid roller cam- I went with a billet one, when I say that I mean specs
Adjustable rockers- I went with T&D's
Springs- ISKYs is what I have on my heads they are doubles and can be trickey to put on LS6 and 6L heads. Due to them cutting into the intake port while machining.
Lifters- you will need solid rollers
Valve covers or valve cover spacers
You will have to find a new home for your coil packs mine are under the cowl.

eww........no bueno on the intake port deal..
well, thanks for the info. curios, what are the specs on the cam? no valvespring probs yet, right?
ls171malibu....i was reading an old issue of GMHTP and i thought they were playing with an all-included kit......i might be wrong though......i'll double check.
thanks guys.
