How about a 5 HP penalty for Roller cam in stock?
If a change to Roller Cams is made then change the piston rings to what ever rings you want. Spacers are get expensive as well. Oh and then for low compression motors how about making pump gas legal in stock as well. Could save some money there as well. .

I like the pump gas idea.

I think the biggest problem would be fuel check.

I still remember the spring numbers, 98 lbs seat and 202 lbs open. I was tossed once for being 2 lbs over. I'd be fine going back but that's just me being a purists for Stock. True hydraulics and only oem solid lifter cars. That would make nobody going 1 second under.
I not saying that it should go to the old way, just an opinion.

Hydraulic Chevy cams were allowed the stock spring at about 84-86lbs on the seat. Single spring with a flat damper.

6000 rpm give or take a few hundred was all you were good for...1970 Stocker....

No idea is they still make them, or they would be applicable for use in a Stocker engine, but I have an old Iskenderian Cams catalog, and they had a line of "Hardface Overlay" cam lobes, to be used with their "Chilled Iron" lifters. Anybody familiar with those items?
