roller rockers,cam,and lifters

[reptilla]

so i have a 95 c1500 suburban and was wondering if there is much if any positives from up grading to a roller cam and lifters and roller tipped rockers. if so what should i go with??? (ratio on the rockers?..cam profile??..)

 

[FastOrange]

such a vague question. What do u do with the truck?

its my daily...and once in awhile i will tow a toy or two. im looking for maybe some power and mpg.

Honestly, i would just throw this cam in her and call it done, no use in upgrading to roller.

There are benefits to be gained from going roller, but are they worth it? There is a good chance your engine has factory roller provisions, which make it easier to do the swap. Roller cams cost 2 or 3 times what flat tappet cams do, roller lifters cost 2 to 3 times what flat tappets do, and there are a few more parts needed for it to work right. In a DD application, there isn't a LOT of benefit or bang for the buck feelgood coming from this modification.

do you know for sure you have a flat tappet cam now? almost all of the 87-95 blocks are setup for both, some fully, some not.

well from what I hear, no more cam and lifters wear out with rollers.
