I went with the YT 1.7's on my AFR's. Note that I had to shim quite a bit to get an acceptable wipe. Not sure if you will need to do the same, but make sure you check it. Set up wipe first, then measure for pushrods. The YT's have much heavier shaft between the rockers and larger bearings. They are also lighter over the nose.

crane quick lifts 1.7. Why? because i have a set that I need to sell. Haha. They worked great but I'm putting the car back to stock. I'll do $275 shipped. They cost $700 new.

thanks for the input. I am definitely going with aftermarket roller rockers, just can't decide which ones. Maybe I should have worded the question diff.
