Default aftermarket rocker arms

Has anybody seen much of an improvement? Is it worth the money?

What kind of improvements? I find the wipe pattern to be better.

I had swapped to Harland Sharp roller rockers a few years ago, but decided to go back to the stockers after several of the C-clips on the sides of the rockers decided to go out. That plus more mass was placed right over the valve with the HS rockers as opposed to the stockers. I also found it much easier to bolt on the stockers (8mm socket) than having to hunt down the right hex socket (which started to round off some of the bolt head patterns) for the HS rockers. I also personally did not notice any changes by switching to a set of aftermarket rockers besides the ones I already mentioned. Again, this is my personal opinion so take it for what it's worth.

I have the Comp shaft mount 1500's. I'm floating the valves at 6400 with PP gold double valve springs. Next week I will be puting the Stk's back in once I get the correct length PR's.
