Im going to consider a brand new set of stockers. I love bolt ons. Can i get brand new ones with the trunion already upgraded? A link would be fantastic

 

1958 called. Wants its SBC rockers back

 

Summit has them already to go .

 

Awesome thanks

 

That's cool. I didn't know there were full roller rockers at that price point. No LS7 option though.

 

Just did this to my new build too

 

Martin Smallwood on here also said he could build a ready to bolt on set.

 

Yes sir but everything was forged, 8.5 compression, h beams, wisecos, ported afr heads and a lot lot more. Im doing this with a 5.3 now just for fun and when i decide to swap the ls1 in my c5 im either going forged 427 with twin 80s.

 

This is a question for the cam manufacturer.

 

[[u]take QUOTE=JoeNova;19236908]'Rated' means absolutely nothing. RPM peak will depend on cubic inches, head flow, intake manifold, exhaust manifolds, etc. You can take a cam 'rated' for 6800 RPM, throw it in a 408 stroker and power will peak and start falling by 5500 RPM.

If you're really worried, just get trunion upgrades for the stock rockers.[/QUOTE]
Take it ez there buddy don't get so technical on this guy with "rating means nothing!" Those rockers he's asking about are fantastic for what he's doing. I have a 5.3 with 11.2:1 and a sloppy stage 2 cam that i don't spin over 6500 and even that rpm is rare cuz let's face it nothing good happens over 6 grand. you're not making huge power up there you're just ragging your parts and making a bunch of noise. Shift it and get back down where you're parts are safe and you're making peak power again. I'm running the inexpensive procomp stainless steel ADJUSTABLE shaft full rollers and they are fabulous. $200 at summit, can't beat it for a shaft type roller rocker. Granted stainless is heavy and can create float at real high R's but again i don't go there. Honestly the OE rockers with good trunnions are phenomenal rockers with their boxed design but with higher spring. Continued down below

THESE are the bad boys of shaft system ADJUSTABLE aluminum, light weight LS self centering roller rockers. These things are $330 at summit!!! How can you even beat that?! That's stupid cheap! If these said Jesel on the box they would be $1200!!! They even come with a push rod length checker to give you the correct push rod length that you would need to have them at a 1.8 ratio and for a 1.7 ratio. For $330 folks! I mean if you're gonna build an LS mild or wild these are the rockers youd want!!!!
pressures i don't like to use a scrub nose design because the deflection WILL wear on your valve guides. There are some outstanding shaft style roller rockers available from procomp and speed master that are VERY affordable and and bulletproof all from $175 to $350 a set. By far, the best LS1 aluminum,shaftstyle, ADJUSTABLE roller rocker on the market for the money is the speedmaster DNA 1-261-022's!!! UNBELIEVABLY awesome rocker system for the money they almost would fool you into thinking it's a set of $1000 Jesel's at first glance. $330 on summit!!! That's only a few bucks more than you would pay for an upgraded trunnion OE set with a crappy scrub nose! Now you can not fit these under a stock pancake valve cover but buying a taller, nicer looking valve cover is a good thing anyways you can get a nice pair that your coils bolt directly to in order to get rid of those ugly *** coil brackets or really clean up the looks and get the 2 piece LS valve covers that enclose the coils and harness under a great looking cover. Now you have a bullet proof valve train and a great looking, cleaned up engine bay for around $500 all together! Those DNA rockers say $437 but that's direct from speedmaster, go to summit and they are $330 for the 1.8 ratios. And the valve covers below say $550 but there are ones exactly like them on eBay that just don't have the Chevrolet script but they are available in polished aluminum, satin aluminum and black for $237! And listen, all these guys on here talking about 8000 RPM LS engines either have more money than they know what to do with or they are replacing the engine twice a year! They are the best engine ever designed but there's absolutely no reason to ever spin an engine that high unless you're trying to blow it up or you thought you were driving your mazda RX7. You are safe as can be and will NEVER hurt a thing if you set your limiter at 6500 RPM. I can hear an engine screaming bloody murder when people wing them over 7 grand there's just no reason for it i don't care what can and heads you have it's not making the power way up there that it would if you shift it and calm it down where it's safe again. These engines are designed to take 6500 rpm ALL DAY LONG EVERY DAY! But once you get above that your starting to hurt stuff believe me I've been building performance for 40 years and you may not blow it up this time or next time but you keep spinning it that high and you will soon start hearing things that don't sound good! Just keep em at or below 6500 guys and that sucker will last you forever!

These are just one of many styles of 2 piece valve covers available that will accommodate any aftermarket valve train components you can get these for $275 on eBay!

This is one of the very well priced shaft style roller rockers available but the speedmasters i mentioned in my post with the part number are the best ones available for the price

 

You realize this thread is 6 years old...right??

 

I don't think Chinese bots trying to sling worthless Pro Comp parts look at dates but I could be wrong.
