Default Yella Terra Rockers

So Ive been reading a lot of good things about these rockers but looking at some of the price differences on adjustable/non-adjustable ultralite 1.7s looks to be a little over 100 dollar difference.Just wondering if I should really invest in adjustable ones or not, what do you guys think any pros/cons?

Also Im looking for some 3 piece hardened pushrods, Ive been looking but not too sure which sponsors carry them,Thanks.

Yeah they come with welded ***** at the end of the pushrods I heard they are pretty slick and with my lift and rpm range Im looking for some good quality shiiiaaattt. I have morel lifters possibly yella terra rockers and was curious on the 3 piece pushrods. Im not opposed to the normal chromoly hardened pushrods just want to see what is all out there and of course I want that warm and fuzzy feeling when Im tearing it up...

Non-adjustables are lighter. For the pushrods, call Manton pushrod. They are around the same price as off the shelf and are custom made to order with the 270 degree ball end. Very nice parts. Diameter is very imporant and they do carry 11/32 as well as larger sizes.

Any performance differences in the non adjustables vs adjustables? You happen to have a price range for these custom pushrods?

How about I read your post before I ask for price....duh! haha

Properly set up, the non-adjustables should rev higher owing to less inertia in the design (no adjustment hardware). The price difference on pushrods will depend on who you buy from. If you get Comp labeled pushrods they will be more money then Trend pushrods (who makes the Comps). Mantons are top shelf, end of story.
