Default Rockers galore!

For a stock block with AFR 205's upgraded with HD springs, hollow valves, forged rods, forged pistons; any comments as to what rockers I should use?
I have both the comp cam promagnum 1.7's and the crane gold 1.7's. People in the know have told me that the steel rockers will be too heavy and limit my RPM potential far more than the gold rockers. Willing to listen.

depends on WHERE the weight is placed.....it is possible for a rocker to be heavier OVERALL but the weight "seen" by the valve train could actually be lighter.........and vice versa......


either will probubly work fine (don't know your RPM plans)........

When I talked ithe AFR,( They recommended the cranes), we talked about 7400 rpm with a hydraulic cam .613 lift, 108 lsa. Afr was sure that the comp cam rockers would collapse the lifters long before that.

If 7000+ are in your plans I'd look into a set of Jesel's or T&D'S
