Default Which rocker arms??

Running the stock rockers now. I'm only running the engine to 6500 rpm in fear of them breaking. The motor that I have should make max power@7200 rpm. Not trying to spend a grand on rockers. But they can't weight more than 210 grams. Any suggestions. Thanks

I think if you look into Mohawk jesels you'll be over budget... you'd prob be ok with some T&D's...

Crane 'Quik Lift' LSx in 1.7 or 1.8. Here's some rocker weight info:

Stock Rocker - 140.1g overall, 8.2g at the valve
Harland Sharp Non Adj. 1.7 - 132.8g overall, 22.5g at the valve
Crane LSx 1.8 - 149.1g overall, 22.3g at the valve

As mentioned before, the Crane rocker has a lower rotating moment of inertia than the stock rockers.
