Rocker arm question

Whats the advantage of roller rockers of stamped ones?
I'm talking about 1.6 rollers vs. 1.6 stamped to be exact.

They're much stronger as well. You don't want to skimp on parts that are that important and endure that much abuse. Comp Pro Mag all the way.

the part that bolts to the head...you want bigger...it willl let it have less side to sied movement and not snap off...also NSA will be safer at high rpm

If you use the non-self aligning rockers, be sure to pick up some GMPP guideplates.
