so the only benefits of upgraded rockers is slightly less rolling resistance and MAYBE a hair more lift assuming the rocker ratios are inaccurate? Seems like the very last thing to add if it's even necessary at all
EDIT: How do you know at what point more lift stops being beneficial and you just need to increase valve size for more power? And it seems like if anyone was going to get a cam, they would just get the lobe separation and overlap correct for the type of engine and desired RPM range and then get the cam with the biggest lift possible. I know that's simplistic and there's a lot of parts to choosing a cam but is there any detriment to running the highest lift possible without hitting the piston with the valve?
