If DC used the Magnum R/T cam (unannounced?), the roller lifters would
also be there because they come with the cam as part of the package.
With the MP retainers, pushrods (comes with 1.6 Al. roller rockers),
guides and valve springs added, I can see a 5500 rpm redline with
safe, consistent operation up to about 6000 rpms.
I think that I read that the R/T hp and torque were up but don't know
if it's in the 2000 or 2001 models. The figures (not huge ... about
15-25) that I saw would be in the ballpark with the cam and rockers.
The missing ingredient for a 40+ gain would be the hipo computer.
