I'm building a 364 boost motor and going with PRC LS3 aftermarket casting heads. The plans are to run this motor with 15-25psi of boost, maybe more. The goal is to make a 32-3300lb race weight car go into the 8 second zone. My question is a simple one. I am trying to figure out which rocker arm system to run. I know the stock rockers with the trunion upgrade are being used widely but are they something you would use on a motor that I will be making this much power with. Should I go Comp pro mag or just go all the way and get the Comp shaft system? If it doesn't need it I would not rather spend the money but if thats what I have to use then so be it. Thoughts? Thanks guys.

 

What is the cam profile you will be running? And also, what valve springs? Pressures, etc....

 

I'm big on the Jesel SS rockers for the ls. I'm sure they may not be the best or lowest priced. But I built a engine for a car with these rockers. This was about 6yrs ago. The car has made 630+rw since. And 1000s of dd,track and road trip miles. My dd 500rw n/a engine also has these rockers, I sold this motor, but still in use today.It sees 7000+rpm shift points often.
Also have another set for my own turbo engine project. Since also plan on up to 7000+rpm shifts. And I know these rockers won't spill there bearings.
For me it's either Jesel or stockers

 

Stock rockers with trunion upgrade.

 

I haven't had any problems with stock ones

 

same here

 

AtomicFusion (turbo Vette) went high 7's with stock rockers/trunion upgrade.

 

I just looked at all three of his builds on his site and all of them say he had Harland Sharp rockers.

 

Trunion upgrade, you won't find a lighter rocker than the stock ones.

 

Where is the best vendor/price to get the trunion upgrade?

 

Everybody has them for around $139 but you can maybe do a google search on them and price match them thru somebody. TSP has them already done with the upgrade for $399.

 

dont mean to thread jack, but im looking to do this aswell but for 317's, been looking at these.....http://www.summitracing.com/parts/CCA-13702-KIT/

when do you need this fancy trunion upgrade? is it something i should look into?

 

LOL! thats funny ****, if you do it youll be in the 7s! i guess it would be good piece of mind though

 

I know you're playing, right? Riiiiiggghhhhhttttt

 

You better hurry!!

 

I've been running the same stock stock rockers for years on various different set ups and that's one thing that has never given me a problem.

 

stock with the comp trunion here.

i have personally seen an oil change with needle bearings in it. not worth the risk to me, 140 bucks now, 7000 engine later...
