Default Need advice on roller rockers? Which ones?

I am going to be looking at purchasing some RR's in the very near future, but I do not know which ones would work out the best for me. Sell aligning, non-aligning, 1.6, 1.7?

Mods are as follows: Hooker LT's, ORY, TB, 4.10 gears, and suspension stuff. It is a 96 Formula 6M.

I plan on doing a h/c, but trying to see what she'll run without the h/c. Maybe mid to low 12's? I will be needing new RR's with the h/c, so I thought I'd buy them now and see what she does.

Thanks, Greg

I would personally do 1.6's I think 1.7's have a little too much lift on them.

Greg, I'd go with 1.6's. If you're going to run H/C combo in the near future, I'd just hold off for the RR's if you're going to run NSA rockers. The head needs to be machined for the guideplates. Just somthing to think about. Also the NSA rockers tend to be a little more on the quiet side vs. SA rockers from what I've read. If you go with non-self aligning, you'll want to definatly run some hardened pushrods as well. Good luck!
