freeing more bhp , more reliable and the fact its just cost Ł15k lol, staurt i dont know much about cvh tbh but i had a go in a car ian howell built with a 2.1 zvh custom everything big spec like yours running around 370bhp and we smashed 2 rockers straight in half , we was fixing it at 12.30 at night. i said to ian is there anything avaliable and he said no , kent cams using to do roller rockers which he said he used once on a 1.6 cvh turbo and they were great , never had any problems but they stopped making them.
maybe this is the cvh weakness ,abit like the silvertop oil pump issues lol

i forgot about the extras like intercoolers etc thats another 2k

cheers paul

jano oddkidd has just spent an absolute fortune developing them and is having a batch made up and they are the dogs danglers so gus and stuart if your thinking about them get intouch with jano as i dont think he has started to have them made yet.
