Who has experience with the Patriot shaft mount rockers? Just curious how they are, if there's any issues (fitment, etc), and if they'd be a good choice for my new motor? I figure i'd go with the patriot's so long as there's no major issues cuz they're a great price! Suggestions are welcome on which rockers to go with, thanks guys!

What is wrong with the stockers. I mean it's not like your going to see prolonged periods of 8k+ rpms. That is where a shaft mounted rocker would excel. I have heard nothing but issues with those on the ls1's. The stockers are good for 7k+ from my experience.

I have a set I am going to use on my 403 as I will have a solid cam. They appear well made. The geometry at the pushrod end seems like it is going to be a little steep and I will maybe need to open up pushrod holes some and cover problems I hear. If the geometry part is ok I think they will be fine...if it isn't I will be getting my money back.

If you are not going solid roller you can run the non-adjustable jesel shaft mounted rockers, they are really nice and run about 600 bucks, if you want to adjustability you can run the Jesel J2k's and those run about 1200 bucks
