Eric, Darts are wonderful, I know several people running them. Only thing is, with darts you HAVE to buy roller rockers, stud mounted. Yes they have more potential, but you can easily go mid or even low 12s with the POWER HEADS. If money is an issue, he can stilll run the stock rockers untill he wants to spend more money. My self, rather than RRs I would go with a B cam. That is his choice. I'm not sure if the stud mounted RR have to be shimmed, checked, shimmed, checked, ect... If so, that is reason enough to stay away from it. But I do agree, Darts are bad to the bone. Also with GTPs you will need a GTP specific header = more money. No reason to buy a header that only works on 1 head. Just my .02 Good luck
