I wouldnt use roller bearing for a street/strip motor.....Roller bearings are made for all out racing application's and the engine wont provide enough oil to the bearings for long lasting street use...sitting in traffic..lower rpm's....Idling at a light etc...
However you can use a roller cam with standard bearing for street application's..that will hold up very well... I'll be running Dura bond Cam bearings with my Roller cam for both duties street/strip ...
Hope this helps!! GoodLuck!

Yes GT6 is right you'll need the cam tunnel opened up a couple hundred thousands, and then a finish align bore to fit bearing O.D.....
