Default L92/LS7 Rockers

I have seen a few of the online articles on the new L92 engine.

Specifically, in the article it was mentioned that the L92 rockers have a roller tip.

http://www.autoblog.com/2006/02/21/g...s2-v8-engines/

When looking at different photos, and even on the link photos, it clearly does not show a roller tip.

Can someone shed some light on this?

An aftermarket option rocker when it comes out would be good then compared to a non-roller tip.

Also, is there any info on flow for the stock truck intake manifold for the L92?

Thanks

None of the LS series engines comes with roller tip rockers, only roller trunnions.

As for the truck L92 manifold, I don't know the flow numbers (yet), but it flows as good as the car manifold or better, from what I've heard. I think the two biggest issues with the truck manifold are 1) it's too tall to fit under most hoods, and 2) (more importantly)... it's butt-ugly. Why GM didn't make that thing look better is beyond me.
