Wondering how much hp difference in hp/et if the valve spring rule
was not changed? With the improvements in ring packs,head work,carbs,headers,converters,transmissions,suspen sion.tires, do you really think it would be that much of a hp/ et difference with current technology? I can see the roller rocker change for cost savings/accuracy but do you think that with todays cam lobe technology stocker engines today couldnt be close in hp without the roller spring pressures needed to control the valves.In other words was it in the cam/valve springs or in every thing else as a complete package.

I'm thinking out loud, looking for some insight.
