Are there any good websites that explain and have pictures of swivel tips,
roller tip, ratio rockers etc. I'm a little confused and could use some
pictures.

would you choose between them???>>
Mark,

Your budget.

I think that for a street engine the roller tips would be better because
they
reduce side load on the valve AND a small amount of friction.

The Pauter roller tips cost $330 a set (LESS with a group purchase).  That
includes the special solid rocker arm and spacers to set the rockers up.

Using standard ratio rockers you can get just the rockers or more
(Recommended, while the stock screws last a long time in a stock engine,
when
the lift in increased, the pressure on the screw and valve in increased and
can increase the normal wear and cause early wearing of the stock screw and
valve surface.  Another effect is that the side load on the valve in
increased because the lift is increased. The swivel tips and roller tips are
designed to reduce these effects)

9mm Rhino swivel feet                         $32.95
9mm Rhino 1.25 Rockers                   $119.95
HIGH PERF. ROCKER SHAFTS  $31.95
ROCKER ARM SPACER KIT       $10.95
                                        Total$195.80

9MM RHINO ROCKER SCREWS $23.95

The Berg 1.4 ratio is @$450 a set.  These rockers are slider.  The arm that
contacts the valve tips slide on the valve.

I got an email from Pauter that they will do a group purchase and I am
waiting on pricing discount information.
