The Jesels, Comps, T & D's, SLP's , & Yella Terras are all expensive. Say $450 to $800 depending on how much you want to spend for new stuff.
The 1.7 rollers might be worth a 2-3 rwhp with a stock cam. The 1.85's might be worth 4-6rwhp with a stock cam. The 1.85's aren't recommended with many of the popular high lift cams that are used like the TR-220, TR-224, C2, X1 & G5 family.
The stronger aftermarket 1.7 rockers would add some piece of mind over the stock rockers with the high lift and duration cams. I don't think the aftermarket rollers are going to be worth much power in most of our set ups just added relability with aftermarket cams.

On my heads and cam car I have stock rockers at the moment. It's one of those feel good mods to do with extra $$$ IMO.
With that said, I did pick up a set of used Jesel's for a good price.
At say $450 that's what 3/4 of what a cam install kit goes for on sale or pretty close to it.

also a cam install isnt that hard, since your on a budget when you do get a cam consider doing the install yourself.

Well, I would have loved to replaced them all with some aftermarkets, but the budget didnt allow it, so I just got an extra that a buddy had to put it on for now. I think I will be pulling the valve covers again soon to check on them...

Over at Vinci Hi Peformance in Orlando, they've seen gains between 15-20 HP when isntalling the Crane gold roller rockers.
I know one adavantage the Crane rockers have is they are very quiet, so you won't get any rocker noise tripping the knock sensor. This is a problem you have to watch out for in other roller rockers.
