The problem with the Comp roller tip arms is really more about the varying ratio than the usual regurgitated rocker ball issue, which some say they have corrected (to a degree, pun intended).

Just because Butler offers them they may not be 'optimum' for YOUR engine. Lower lift cams and less aggressive profiles won't be impacted as much as the opposite. So what 'works' on one engine may not work with another. And vendors may offer 'budget' alternatives to not chase customers away.

Do it right, do it once.

These would be a much better option, and still on the 'budget' side:

Get what you pay for.

Been there done that, but never tried those Butler stainless ones. I only buy one now, they last forever, and there's no question:

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
