Rokentech advertising the 4mm cam plate.

[MikeThomas]

Ok, who is actually running one? Everyone seems to be all talk around here with their custom pumps, but none are running them? Whose actually running one of Roken Techs 4mm camplates or 14mm heads?

[bgilbert]

I doubt the ones using them are gonna post about their R&D successes let alone their failures. Those west coasters are and have been for years tight lipped about their R&D. Not everyone is like KTA when it comes to sharing it.

I don't understand why people are so tight lipped about that $h!t. It's stupid. It's not like bosch is gonna give out a prize for the top HP VE. Dumb. We all have the same goal in mind. POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i got 3 of there first batch in pumps but not on the truck yet, i know a guy running a 4.3mm from rocken tech for 20000miles and no issues
and i also have the 14mms from rocken tech, all of this stuff should be in my truck in two weeks or less, but dyno day isnt till fall

[MikeThomas]

It seem like ther is a lot of "bench" testing here with no real experience and Roken-Tech is banking on the idea of potential HP, but have nothing to show for it.... None running it eh?

[bgilbert]

Above, 200000000 miles no issues .

CK, how far are you from Syracuse? We're having a Dyno Day on July 19th, come on down!

[cummins king]

probaly 500miles, not to bad i was hopping to take a trip down south to find some body parts so maby i could stop in, but me taking time off in the spring summer fall is not existant, so most likely not going to happen


there has been trucks running it with success, and RT has done some R&D

For centuries, knowledge has been (and still is) power. People who could write back in medieval times (and before) were often given all sorts of stuff, just because of what they knew, or could record. If you could read and write, you could be a very rich man.

Fast forward to the 21st centruy. Not much has changed. People put a LOT of money into go-fast R&D, and break a LOT of parts til they get it right; then it takes time, money, and fuel to see if it will work long term. When someone gets it right, they try to recoup their R&D investment. I dont blame them for that. I would probably be the same way. If I find a new way to get better performance from doing things a certain way, I'm not going to give away my secrets to let someone else get rich off it.

The notion that all knowledge should be free and shared with the world like a social disease at an orgy is baloney. There are some things that deserve to be kept in tight circles.
