And agree with the Scorpions. Had some major issues a few years ago, but not a single failure that I'm aware of since their last revision. And 100% American made. But again, it's weight. I was told by 3 specific builders to sell the ones I had and not even install them; stick with trunion upgraded stockers. They were full aware of my .631 lift as well.

Take that for what's its worth.
My engine is actually using the least generation of Yella Terra Ultralite since 3000 miles with valves weight of:
- 89 grams for the intake an
- 67 grams for the exhaust
Valve spring:
- Close pressure 150
- Open pressure 420

And the engine is not showing any signs of valve-train instability revving it to 7500 rpm...

For now........

Not to mention of clearance issues associated with (adjustable) roller rockers. Lunati shaft mount adjustable, they don't fit under stock V/C's or with 1/2" spacers. There's a lot of measuring, bluing, milling etc, hours of clearance work. NOT worth it IMO, use stock with trunion upgrade but if it has to be roller call the MFG's tech line and find out if they fit under the stock style V/C, if they say no....RUN.
