Too cold to work on the car!

Guess everyone is just planning for the spring.
I just placed an order at Mancini's for some of those Comp Pro Magnum Roller Rockers. Does anyone have a guess as to what, if any, improvement that change alone will make to my ET?

What do you have on there now? The stock iron ones?
The cold might have something to do with it.
It takes a while for the garage to warm up, even longer wthout heat.
I'm lucky this year all I'm doing is rebuilding my carb, and all I had to do to do that is put it in a box and UPS it out :D .

Yeah, Mike, the stock iron ones. Any idea of a HP gain, if any?

I've seen claims of up to 20 HP by going to aluminum roller rockers from the stock rockers. I kinda remember seeing an article about it in a Mopar mag not too long ago, and it was somewhere around there. That was on a small block.

Hard to Drag race in the snow. I have little planned until it warms up. I don't even dare go in the garage. My fingers hurt so bad today, and I was only outside for a few minutes at a time.
I really am looking forward to warmer weather. I need to pull the tranny, put the converter in, new tranny lines if I have enough Stainless Braided Line left. I need to get a rebuild kit for the carb.
