Default Help me choose the correct rocker arms

I'm wondering which rocker is the best for my application for my 2000 Z28. Currently my engine is stock except for slp cold air kit, and kooks 1 7/8" headers with duals.

I'm going with a tick sns stage 3 cam with morel 5290s, ls6 intake, and a 150 shot with all the fuel pump and injector upgrades.

The car is a street strip car and I'm mainly interested in strip... which is seeing track time at least once a month.

I want a rocker that is reliable that I don't have to worry about. Whether it's trunion upgrades or aftermarket I need advice.

If I can swing it, I may go with some ported 243s as well. I also see TEA sells stock rockers with the trunion upgrade for cheap. Anyone use these?

Stock rockers will be good for 95% of people's builds. I am running stock rockers with the smith brothers trunnion kit, which in my opinion is a much better kit over the comp kit.

Stock rockers with a trunion upgrade would be my recommendation.

Stock Rockers with the Straub trunion upgrade would be perfect for your setup and budget minded.

TEA kit is using the Summit kit. Which is a slightly better kit than the Comp's.

I'd look at Smith Bros/Straub or CHE.
