Default Harland sharp 1.8 roller rockers: What do you think of them?

Hey all:
Looking into buying some 1.8 harland sharp roller rockers which will run me $350.00 shipped to my door. Is this a good deal also?

What do you all think of them and is it worth the money?
Is there another set out there that are way better?

I am looking into also doing a 224 cam.

Info all please thanks

keep the stock rockers and have a different cam ground. it'll come out cheaper.

As JRP said, also it will have better valvetrain geometry.
If you allready have the 224 and you want to run HS, get the 1.7's.
1.8s are not recomended with anything over .550 lifts.
If this is for your 02 get a bigger cam and run stockers.

Ya use a 1.7 set and build your lift into the cam it will put less strain on your valve train. 1.8'S Are for those that want a little extra lift without changing a cam.

If you do decide to go with the 1.8s, I have a set for sale.

I'd stay with the stockers because the roller rockers are a bit more nose-heavy and put more weight over the top of the valve.

Plus like JRP, Blacker, and PREDATOR-Z said, it'll be cheaper to grind a higher-lift cam
