Hey John. (Disclaimer: I have roller rockers) I would think either technology will give you the performance and durability you're looking for. Stamped steel metallurgy and lubrication quality would last very long on a mild mannered setup.
But here is the rub. If you want to heat the motor up some, that means better springs, and Cam, Rollers or perhaps longer billit's? The questions you may want to ask yourself, to me, is "Do you like to drive it like you stole it? " Or do you want any bragging rights that come with the HRQ? Hot Rod Quotient, that is. lol. I may not have helped much. mike --- "John W.
