....so are the ones for a SBF, I had a set on my stang and one day I was pulling out onto the main drag got up to around 4k rpm (not getting on it hard either) and BANG CLACK CLACK CLACK...pulled over and popped the valve cover and saw one half the rocker still on the rocker stud and the rocket tip with the roller layin next to one of my springs....
Lesson learned for me even though I got em free with a set of heads...I won't be putting on junk in my motor anymore, whether it be cheap or free.buy Name Brand stuff
I can post up a pic or two of the rocker and the fracture if you want, you can tell it's cheap aluminum on the inside.

Spend the extra money and get a product known to work well in the LS1 application. I can't stress that enough to people that take the less expensive way and end up regretting their decision when something breaks. Just my opinion though...
Thanks guys. I am glad I made a post before buying them. I guess I'll be going with some Yella Terra's for a full roller or SLP's if I decide to stay stamped steel stock type. I am also going to get some oil restricted pushrods too. Thanks again.

^^^you can tell by the picture they are cheap casted aluminum, possibly a better casting process would make them stronger and less prone to failure.
