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.

Re: Solid roller ??'s Good for juice? spring size? etc.. 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.

Re: Solid roller ??'s Good for juice? spring size? etc.. 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

Re: Solid roller ??'s Good for juice? spring size? etc.. 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.

well, thanks for the info. curios, what are the specs on the cam? no valvespring probs yet, right?
