Depends on what you're doing. If you simply want to boost up the power on a stock cam, then I'd say PRW 1.8 RR's are "best for the money." However, if you are doing a cam, stay w/ stock rockers & a trunion upgrade. As far as most reliable, best set up period, stock 1.7 rockers w/ trunnion upgrade is the best.

stock ones have been ran well over 1000hp. The answer to your question would probably depend on your application.

My understanding is that it depends on the lift, stock with trunion upgrade up to .600" lift, above that you want roller rockers.
