Well, you know my opinion but I will try to get the ball rolling here. They work fine and drop in like a stock roller, you almost never have to do valve adjustments if you run poly locks and a girdle, it will sound like a sewing machine. The only problem that will cause a headach on a street car would be the valve springs. Depending on how radical the cam is you will be replacing springs ever now and then because they take allot of abuse. I am runing mine on the street this summer if it makes you feel better
