Question Are roller rockers worth it?

I've got a pair of 317's Ive had built with double springs and bigger valves for a boosted motor. Are roller rockers worth it or should I just use the stockers? I see there are roller rockers on ebay for a couple hundred. Does anyone use them or are they junk? Thanks guys

For around 200 dollars there are aluminum and stainless stell on ebay. Yeah they are basically no name. If I do use stockers do you think I should use the ls1 or lq4 rockers?

They are both the same...save yourself the headache of roller rockers and just upgrade your stock ones...summit sells Comp cams upgrade trunnion kit
