The post is a little old but I'd like to post my scorpion experience. The installed easily enough. I rev to 6600 all the time. Over 10k miles on them. About three years old. Not a single issue. The lifetime warranty is nice too. 7.425 PR with XE-R lobes.

I can't comment about Scorpions LS1 rocker arms but I compared their SBC rocker arms to Harland Sharp and choose the Scorpions. They are nice quality and have held up well for three years and many 6500 rpm passes.

I just ordered a set of scorpions rockers for my LSA heads. They make alot more than rockers too. They just built they're new factory and headquarters in Ocala FL, about 40 miles north of where I live. I got to go on a tour of the facility and see all the advanced equipment they have and I am completely sold. Everyone there is super nice and helpful, you walk in and see average everyday americans making a quality product and taking pride in it. Some of the most high tech cnc equipment and machining processes i've ever seen. They even have a medical and aeronautics division as well, these guys make surgical equipment too if that means anything. They are still fairly small compared to some of the cam giants out there but they are coming up fast, everything is made in usa and they offer a lifetime warranty on everything they make, even to racers who are constantly breaking ****. That says alot
