wow thats pretty good for those rockers...how much hp did you put out?
i think those damn 1.8 were hurting my hp #s i only put out 380hp and 565 rwt...and after the dyno we heared knocking from both sides of the valve covers and what was it two broken bolts from the rockers...too much stress dont you think?

The vast majority of heads/cam LSX motors have stock rockers.

a .575 lift should not be running with 1.8s, stockers are plenty if in good condition.

Stockers work fine for me.
As Predator-Z said you should not be running 1.8's

Unless your hoping to squeeze a few more hp out of you motor I wouldn't worry about aftermarket rockers. The hp vs. $$$ just isn't worth it in my mind. But if they were part of some package (like the WS6store) then I would use them.

Im eventually going to get Jezel. I already had Harlands and had nothing but problems with them. If your not going to go with a jezel type rocker then dont bother just use stock.

Stockers in almost every H/C car. Many 402/408 guys run stock rockers too.

Almost everyone uses 1.7 rockers on H/C cars.
