Default Rocker help

So i know that Roller tip rockers suck compared to the full roller rocker but how much power do you guys think i could get if i put on a 1.6 CC roller tip rocker?

ive been doing a lot of research on the subject, and it seems like the full rollers are very benificial compared to the roller tips. actually, the tips dont even roll, they just slide across the valve stem. you will pick up a little because of the extra lift, but dont expect any friction loss

Yea ive been doing alot of research on it too and cant find the results im lookin for. The reason i ask is because i got a good deal on a set of CC 1.6 rollertip rockers, springs, guidplates,pushrods, etc. and i was debating on just selling the rollertip rockers, but if the difference in hp between the rollertip rockers and full roller rocker is only 5 hp or so then i wont sell them.
