Default Patriot shaft mounted rockers!

How many of you guys are using this setup, and what do you think about it. I am strongly thinking of this setup with a pair of Patriot heads.

ohhhhhh...I had a set of rockers that were made by the same company who builds Patriot's rockers and had nothing but bad luck. IF they made the shafts larger and got rid of the cheap hardware they would kick ***.

I'm not familiar with Jesel rockers. Do they suffer from the heavy tip issue that YT's and HS's do at higher RPMs from time to time?

Jesel rockers are of the same high level of quality as the T&D rockers and the most annoying thing is the machining on the head it takes to allow them to work, no tip issues that I am aware of. They are most expensive than the PP, YT's or HS rockers, as like the T&D's they are in the $900.00 range.
I am looking in to some new rocker arms from Shubeck as they are releasing an LS1 rocker arm setup.

Is it worth it if your staying below 7000rpm? Hell I don,t know, I'm actually thinking of building a real high revving LS1 that is N/A.
