Recent discussion about cams on the list has caused my mind to wander (it does 
that a lot at my age).  About 20K miles ago (6 years) I purchased a new (early) 
cam for my TR6.  I am reluctant to yank a relatively new cam out but now 
realize that an  S2 cam would be preferable for my needs.  Soooooo, would the 
roller rocker setup from Goodparts or elsewhere give me any improvement in 
performance, other than reduced friction, over my stock rockers?  Obviously the 
only change that could affect the performance would be the ratio of the roller 
rockers from the fulcrum (rocker shaft) to the valve.  So would this be a "good 
thing" (sorry, lately Martha's not doing too well either)?  Please note, I 
realize that a new S2 type cam would be cheaper than a new set of roller 
rockers but in defense of this question the roller rockers would be a lot 
easier to install.
