Default Harlandsharp rockers?

Are they worth doing? Just thinking out loud? New Era Performance has them for like $340 shipped.

Not unless you need to. And if you are talking about 1.8's forget it with TR ramps.
If you wish to add power via rockers, then I recommend Crane Variable lift rockers 1.7's.
You'll gain an average of ~15 rwhp.
Of course they are more expensive but come as a complete kit. They are also known as Vinci rockers.

Only looking at the 1.7's not 1.8's. Wanted to know if there were gains over stock rockers?

Only advantage I can see is getting them to adjust the preload. Otherwise have to get different length Pushrods. I think Im going to opt for the rockers soon because I need to get my preloads in line and probably easier to just do the rockets, "set it and forget it" instead of trying to get accurate different length pushrods.

Cranes are adjustable and an excellent rocker, IMO.
