Properly set up, no. The adjustable rockers will allow fine tuning of the preload of the lifters for something like Comp R's, which require a very specific and narrow preload range (per Comp). If the adjuster is directly over the pushrod, that is more rotating mass. Unless you need the adjustment capability, go with the non-adjustable lightweight version and set them up properly by checking the wipe pattern then measuring for pushrod length. Buy pushrods last.

great info. thanks.

i have a question though :

how do you check the wipe pattern? and then how do you measure the pushrod length exactly?

thanks.
