Just passing the info along to you guys.
Second Street Speed is developing a new set of roller rockers and solid lifters for the SOHC/DOHC 4.6 The cost is around $3500 for the DOHC cars and around $1700 for the SOHC cars. Bear in mind this is still in developement, prices can and probably will still change. This cost does not include the new springs needed to optimize the new rockers & lifters. Currently Bill at Second Street Speed tells me they are using IRL springs. He also tells me that those springs are just a bit much for this application. However, they did gain 40+ FWHP and 40+FWTW on a DOHC that utilized P&P 99 heads, SHM cams, and an 8.5:1 compression SHM long block with only the addition of the rockers, lifters,and springs.
Bill at Second Street Speed has also told me they are working with Comp Cams to start marketing these items. He says a good seat pressure is about 130 and a good open pressure is about 350. I think that Comp will be able to supply the springs no problem. I think we need to encourage Comp to help market and develope the rockers and lifters. I believe that if Comp becomes involved the prices will come down a good bit due to their marketing ability/budget. They also have a lot of resources that can help develope these items more rapidly.
I'd really like to give a huge thanks to all the guys at Second Street Speed that have come up with some very good hard parts that we need for the 4.6 It is this type initiative that we really need more of for the 4.6 crowd. Edlebrock, Holley and a few of you other "performance companies", care to join the cause??
