Quiet?

Geez, it's awfully quiet in here these days... What, is everybody hibernating for the winter?

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?

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

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.
