Tony, I have found the use of lash caps to adjust geometry to also help. I went to 10 degree valve keepers with recesses many years ago. Keeping the "wipe" of the stock rocker in the proper place on the valve was sometimes tough to do. A compromise at best. I never used a roller cam because of spring pressure. An engine running up to 6000 rpm just didn't seem to need it. Good Luck
