Well just had another yella terra rocker go bad. These are their ultra lights. I'm done and replacing them all, guessI have too much power or over revving the motor for these.

So, what to people like here, comp cam magnums, Jessel, TD or??? Big price differnce between the comps and others!

Are stockers 1.7? Would it make any difference to go with a bigger ratio?

Unless you're spinning your motor to the moon, I don't really see the need for a shaft mounted rockers, well maybe it's because it's too pricey for my wallet...

, but you definately need to stay away from aluminum.

Not sure what the moon is but I go to about 6800. It's a blower cam so pretty mild but pushing around 13lbs and making 625ish to the wheels. I don't see the comp magnums in 1.7.

Anyone know if stock GM rockers will work with my Trick Flow 235 heads or will I need to change guides etc?

Well maybe it's something else causing these rockers to go bad like spring pressure. They are the springs that come with the Trick flow 235 heads. Max 650 lift
