I am. But I did the Comp. Trunion upgrade to my stock rockers. Oh, and I'm running AFR 230's.

Will they work? Yes. Is it a good idea? No. AFR heads, unless you specifically order them with OEM style valve guides, have bronze ones. Without a full roller rocker they will wear much faster.

I'd use a roller tipped rocker arm if it was me.

Off topic, but that sounds like a great setup you'll be running. Make sure to post up numbers once it's all said and done.

SpinsB: Did you cut a trap door or remove all suspension in rear?
