Default Anyone use the Crane roller cam followers/rockers and cams

I'm curious, I like the concept and understand how the rockers work for V8's, just don't know enough about the I4 setups. So is anyone using or used this setup? I did a search also, so don't bust my *****. Later Allen

I was wondering if they would ever make something like this for Hondas! I haven't seen them though, so I can't offer any insight. I guess that makes this just a useless comment, so hopefully nobody busts my ***** either!!

****, I'm not being a dick by saying this so don't take it the wrong way. I know that it's more of a racing feature, but what do you thing of them? I pretty much found out it locks you on high lobe the whole time which would kill fuel economy and lowend, but are the gains big enough to say WTF and go for it?

They do not have a vtec lobe. Would give you a rough idle on the street with poor low end performance.
