YellaTerra for me! They are light weight, strong, well designed and affordable!

One of the worst aftermarket rockers around as far as weight and valvetrain control goes You'd be amazed how often we, as well as other shops, has to change those rockers out to remedy valve float and other stability issues!

Upgraded stock.

When I put together my build there were still too many issues with breakage and valve float, so I stayed with the stockers.

Anyone know about these rockers that West Coast Cylinderheads have for sale? Look to bottom of the new products page. They look good:

You guys sold me these! hahah but either way. I like the design and at our school we use the bigger version of these on our school Nova car. But these ones have the bar going all the way through and have a girdle.
