Default Which Rockers in 245 ETP heads?

Which Rockers are you guys running in the ET 245 heads or any of their heads for that matter? I am working on putting together my 408 build and need to get these heads squared away and ordered since it will be probably 7-8 weeks before I see them anyways!

Any help is appreciated!

Planned Setup:
Iron 408 9.0:1 comp
ETP 245 heads
ATI D1 Procharger 13-15psi
All of this in the 04 GTO!

You can use stockers, just send em to Nasty nate's performance shop to have the trunions and clips eliminated for like 200 bucks or so and they'll hold up fine. FWIW, you can use stock rockers unless it's their 265 heads which require offset pieces.

I am going with a set of 225s for a forged 347. Talking with ET there are 2 choices right now. Stock and 1500.00 per set Jessels. I have HS rockers and have talked with HS. They are trying to get a head from ET so that they can make the correct stand.

Also with stock rockers you will need the 100.00 stand from ET for them to work.

For me it looks like HS reworked stockers or HS and new stands.

Mick,

There is another choice. I'll test them in the GTO next month and let you know how they work...
