Default Crower Shaft Mounted Rockers for ET Heads

Anybody know much on these? They were recommended to me for ET Heads. They are offset rockers designed especially for the 11 degree heads, so I'm guessing no pedestal necessary? They are also shaft mounted aluminum full roller rockers. They are quite expensive, but if they weigh less than stock and are designed for the heads, then they might be worth something with my combo?

I was also going to go with a custom Cam Motion grind with very aggressive hydraulic lobes and over .640" lift, Morel lifters, and PSI springs (don't know if they are right for a hydraulic setup however).

What do you guys think?

my et heads have psi springs also. LME was going to put these rockers on my motor but the price was too high. My cam is over .640 lift with comp lifters. I thought the stock rockers would be fine so i used them. Look up gtodoug he uses stock rockers with a big cam on et heads.

I'm a huge advocate of the stock rockers, but I want to make everything beyond bullet proof, and the Crowers are cheaper than the Jesels. But, if they are shittier than stock, then I'm not wasting my money. Does anyone know?

But that's good to know about the PSI springs. I imagine the PSI springs will handle evil, heavy rockers.

LME had the Crowers made specifically for the ET heads.They are a very nice rocker for the money. The Crowers are adjustable and have needle brgs. in the trunion and in the roller tip. The brgs. in the roller tip is an upgrade option over the std. adj. Jesel rockers.

The Crowers are a true shaft mounted rocker and are far superior to the stock rockers. If you ever switch to a solid roller valve train you will already have the adj. rockers.

At 1150. the rockers are not cheap. However they are a quality piece that will improve valve train geometry & dramatically increase valvetrain stability. All of this results in more power and durability.

Thanks, Bryan. I had been having a hard time finding much information on them.

Phil, do you know if they make a LS7 compatible rocker?
Thanks, Keith
