Yella Terra ??

I have the stock 1.7 rockers with the Harlan Sharpe upgrade. Any performance advantage going to a set of these. Can get a new set for $375.00 Thanks

The only advantage I can really think of would be a lighter valve train

Not quite sure about that.... Heard the stock rockers are lighter... I run the ultra lite yella terra`s... (dont quote me on that but research the weight) I like the idea of not losing needle bearings as much as I smack the rev limiter.

Thunder Racing did some dyno runs with stock rockers with the comp cam upgrade and the engine made better hp and smoother tq band. first they used the yellow terra's that were on the engine and then ran the stock ones and bottom line was stock was better ...
