Cheapest place for adjustable rockers and any other hardware needed for them??
Just like the subject says:
Cheapest place for adjustable rockers and any hardware that has to go with them. I have absolute speed heads on the way with 977 springs and CompR lifters. The shop that I want to get the work done at wants adjustable rockers for that setup ....
thanks,
Crowley

Be careful where you purchase? I ordered my Pro Magnums from Racenet.com, because they were cheaper. Sixty days later I still did not have them. I canceled the order and ordered from Summit. had them two days later. Sometimes you have to pay a little more to play a sooner!
I got my refund back from racenet another 30 days later!

The new Patriot shaft mount rockers are now ready to roll, we are looking for a few test cars.

Depends on what you consider a headache! I guess I like headaches, because I can set them properly when building an engine and never have to worry about them again!

Just because you have a hyd. cam does not mean that you do not need adj. rockers. Comp recommends them with the CompR's to set proper preload.
Make sure to get a good timing chain (double). It may be prone to strech with those stiff springs and a large/fast cam.

Coming from a rocker arm background mfg. I can tell you that steel rockers amplify valvetrain harmonics at upper rpm. . .especially in instances where valvefloat occurs. Now the OEMs have number crunchers, so bottom line plays a fact. Steel rockers either cast or stamped are just fine for the car seeing 6000 rpm ever so often, but for most on this board, I think you right foot is a little heavier then the "average" General Motors Consumer. Second, most of you are modifing the engines to make more power, now you have exceeded GM's finite analysis testing of the items in the engine. So, I would recommend running aluminum rockers, don't care whose, for the fact they will absorb harmonics.

The comp cams Pro Magnum Rockers are steel! Some talking about harmonics and deflection. That is why all your endurance engines are built with steel roller rockers. Not allumunm. Rocker arms especially ones for high rpm engines are under a great deal of stress. Aluminum will not stand up long under those conditions. But on a street engine or even drag engines they work fine, because they don't have to sustain high rpms continually!
