Default Need LS3\L92 Rockers, Yella Terra? HS? MAST?

I am having an engine built by ERL Performance and they have advised me to go with roller rockers on my setup. My issue is i cant seem to find anyone that has any. Yella Terras seem impossible to get, Harland Sharps about the same and not sure if they are any good? Mast makes some not sure on availability but how about quality with them? Is there something else i should be looking at? i really hate to drop 1k on jesel shaft mounts here but at least they seem to be available.

We are a dealer for CHE's upgraded factory rockers. They replace the needle bearing with a bronze bushing and steel shaft. There are no moving parts to fail.
If we're out of stock we can usually get sets in a couple of days. CHE Precision rocker arms.

I recommend Comp Cam's GM LS Series Trunnion Kit. This kit utilizes roller trunnions for high rpm reliability and performance. The kit is only about $135 from summit or other comparable resources. I am using this exact kit in my 416 stroker L92. Good quality product, way cheaper than aftermarket rockers, and sufficient for race level abuse.

It appears just that bronze bushings are used in place of needle bearings as used in the Comp Cam Kit. I tend to wonder if the bronze bushings might introduce a greater concern regarding sufficient lubrication than needle bearings since they have a much higher potential for friction.

I did the Comp upgrade as well. THe factory rockers are very well designed, better than ANY aftermarket setup Ive seen. There weak point is the trunion, and the Comp kit fixes that for a ton less than a set of aftermarket heavy rockers.

Mine were on .621" lift.

Bronze has self lubricating properties. It is regularly used as a sleeve for lifter bores. It's also used as a pilot bearing for the clutch. No lube there and it does fine.

We've been selling the CHE rockers for several years and have yet to see a single rocker have any kind of issue. The bronze alloy used is very high quality and is extremely hard to machine. The wear properties are excellent. It's the same alloy that they make their lifter bore bushings out of.

Cool

Other than the low-friction gain, is there a weight difference in moving these versus the stock set-up?
