    Default L98 Roller Rockers?

    Do they make roller rockers for the l98 V8's? I've read in places they do, then others they don't - I'm a bit confused really.

    If the answers yes, are there any real gains?

    Yeah, there's a vcm cam u can combine them with for not bad gains, but better off spending less and just getting a better cam with better gains

    Why have you included LS2 in your heading as the LS2 (same as LS1 and LS6, cathedral ports and straight rockers) and L98 (rectangle ports and offset rockers) use different heads and rocker systems.

    Not really, but vcm make a cam that work with the rockers and depending on suporting mods can have decent gains, but bang for buck is just to get a nice size cam (nothing over the top big) and have better gains for cheaper
