Comp cam site claims their roller tip 1.52s make 15-30 hp. That has to be due to an accurate 1.52 ratio vs stock. I’d like to have true 1.5-1.52 to know I’m getting the most from my cam.

That's a fair point. And if you went with the Howard's, you may need guide plates and screw-in rocker studs, and the machining that goes along with that. I don't think Howard's makes the self-aligning ones that the Vortec uses.
