Trickflows and GM didn't work out on mine, just get the Isky adjustables and you don't have to worry about it.

I run the Trickflows and they work great for me with my LE2's.

Why didn't the TFs or GMs work for you?

IMO, the adjustable Isky's is just another opportunity to set something up wrong. The TFs and GMs are non-adjustable. Set and forget.

In my experience with some non adjustable plates the rocker arm tip is not always centered on the valve and I have seen it as far as nearly half way off. You can take the chance and get non adjustable, or you can get the Isky adjustable plates.

I have used both, but the adjustable ones go on if/when the non adjustable don't line up.

They didn't center the rocker on the valve stem.

I used trick flows but they did require a little modding for them to fit perfect.

Lloyd suggests trick flow guides for his setups.
