I would def post this in the Eastern members forum. There are quite a few supporters. Every shop/brand has them.
Personally I would not rule them out for possible people I would go to for quotes on a set of LS1 heads, from what I have seen, they make good power and the price is reasonable.
They have been doing the LS1 thing for a while, near since the beginning. I remember in a old issue of Pontiac HP and they had a silver car painted some slick looking Purple and made stupid HP #'s and this was back in I would like to say 2002. (The Dark Ages) lol.

yeah, the rockers were part of it. i am not sure i have read about any optimal rocker setups. it seems like most are heavier than stock. also, i read a post where cartek said they have worked with tfs before and they feel their ported heads were better and made more power than they got by porting tfs.
