Default anyone try theses rockers?

IMO, it pushes a spring down. I cant really see a advantage over one or another besides strength. If these are a full roller and stainless, seems worth a shot. There a lot cheaper then pro magnums. Whats ure take on um....

less friction = more power

if they are higher than stock ratio, then it sounds good.

EDIT- just make sure you arent getting screwed and hes selling them for 130 EACH

These are for a SBC and have a 1.6 ratio so they are not what we need for a LS1/2/6 right..

thats orangeapeel for lookin out for me, lol. I know i should go with pro mags but just found them and figure id ask. It will save me $150ish so i was thinkin bout it. IMO i think when your tryin to build a car on a budget this may be a easy way to save a few bucks and not really risk a bunch. Im not one to skimp corners, thats why i spend $3200 on my trans set up but thats cause thats a area thats real important. I cant see a rocker "breaking", especially when its made out of stainless. So i still got time to ponder.

They don't really break as much as puke all the bearings into the bottom end.

I thought the same thing at first, and If I didn't look at his signature I would have assumed he was getting the SBC rockers for the LS1.

Yea might as well spend the money on a known quality part instead of having to do a nice overhaul of your engine down the road, even if it is a LT1 j/k.
