Roller rockers don't increase power.
They only decrease friction. Any HP increase will be almost incidental.

I haven't noticed any dramatic increase in power.  I've set the intakes at
.012 and the exhaust at .014 per our local LBC expert.  I plan to purchase
an S-2 cam later but due to a recent rebuild with a new stock cam I don't
want to mess with something that is working well at the moment.  The reason
for this post is that i have just checked the compression and have found
that the compression is down across the board about 30 PSI (170 from 200
PSI).  Is this normal?  Have I done something wrong?  I have reset the lash
on the rockers twice and still have the same results.
