best roller rockers out there? Jesel.....

best roller rockers w/ min. noise? noise is really more of a lash/preload thing.....

best priced? well cheapest would be Crane Golds (adjustable)/Harland Sharp (non-adjustable).......(I think) the best rockers/$ are T&D(shaft mount adjustable), Comp ProMag(stud mount adjustable), yella tera(non adjustable)

which is best, adjustable or not? depends on what you need/want....

last not least, your recommendation? why that one?
going on an ls1, w/ tsp 231/237 598/595 112lsa w/ patriot heads. any info will be appreciated.
again depends on what you need/want......if you actually NEED (or want) adjustable to adjust preload (your lifters) than you will have to look into adjustable but 99.9% of people get non adjustable because they are "set and never mess with again"


I personally have the Comp (made by T&D for Comp) 1.7s because I needed an adjustable shaft mount (solid roller) and felt that I didn't get anything out of paying for the Jesels........

For my money, I don't think you can buy better roller rockers than the Crane Gold Quick-Lift ones. I've had great success with mine.

Non Adjustable I would get HS Modified Stock Rockers from Nasty Nate. You dont NEED adj. with that cam, and all too often ppl buy YT's or something and hate them cuz they dont gain **** over a stock rocker...

FWIW, my valvetrain may be noisy but with the same cam you have I have been using stock rockers and getting the job done w/o issues!

My Comp pro Mags have been great,remember you gotta get valve cover spacers to use em.Sorta pricey but you get what you pay for 10,000 miles & no problems

When I do a cam swap along with spring etc. is there a HP advantage to be gained? I know this is a dumb question, but can I gain more HP with new rockers. Thanks and sorry.

Mine are Terra Yellow - non-adjustible. I did not buy them with the idea of gaining any HP. They are stronger than the factory crap and don;t spit roller bearings in your engine....

Factory "crap" rockers are pretty good IMO. I ran the 231/237 witch stockers just fine.
