Any chance of getting a set without trunions since I already have a NIB CHE trunion upgrade kit?

LS7 rockers are a long ways out. Realistically, about a year. They're still in the development phase right now.

Sorry, we will only offer them with trunion or bushing kits installed by us. Now if you have a new, true, CHE bushing kit and would like to send them to us we can install it here and save you some money. Just give me a call at 512-863-0900 and we can go over the details.

So I guess Texas Speed will not tell us how much these things weigh over the Valve,
They must be pretty Heavy, or not any lighter than any other roller out there.

I weighted them, total weight and it only 1gram heavier then stock. I didnt weight over the valve

Happen to have a picture, we all like pictures.
For some reason I'm thinking if this was true Texas Speed would have that posted
in every thread out there instead of ignoring the question, I'm sure they are as
Heavy as the Comp Cams rollers that nobody uses because they are Heavy over
the Valves. Somebody Please prove me wrong, I'm looking for for some
light over the Valve Steel roller rockers. These would be great if they are.

Ive contacted Lonnie from TSP and ordered one of the first-go-around production runs of the rockers this thread is regarding. Only due to need-now / timing am I buying something this new-to-market... but I just did that with FiTech LS 750HP kit too... so I guess I'm getting good at it now.

I'll post pics of packaging, et al late in day this Thurs

Stock rocker has factory trunion. May make a difference.

I think the factory trunion is lighter than the upgrade so that might put them closer in weight.

To address the weight of the rocker. For the truest measurement we weighed both a stock rocker and our rocker without the trunions to take that out of the equation. Just bare.

The overall weight difference between the two rockers is 11 grams.

The weight difference over the nose is only 8 grams

The weight difference between a tool steel retainer vs a titanium retainer is 5 grams.

I hope this clears some things up.

The difference between a stock rocker and the Comp rockers is almost 20 grams. Keeping the difference down to 8 grams is impressive.

Per my order details, these TSP steel roller rockers are 1.72:1

That's not much of a move away from 1.70:1, but in my case with .629 lift and .660 PRC springs, tolerances are gettin' close!

I'm no expert on the matter, but I can see where the ratio increase necessity would happen given that roller.

Also, paired with my stock new LS3 rockers I was using pushrod details of:
7.375 and .080

Along with my tsp rockers order came the question do I need a different length pushrod set up?!?!

Lonnie from TSP, kindly put me on hold and went off to verify what pushrod length was necessary...

And in fact I need to change from/to:

From: 7.375 @ .080
To: 7.250 @ .080

I would measure push rod length and not take any ones word for it. It's the only way to get an accurate length.

Yessir... thank you - I will go through the measuring process to ensure proper pushrod length - which I've never done given this is my first exposure to LS work - but today's internet affords lessons on all the ways to skin that cat - and an F-up isn't an option!

Thx again ->

Texas Speed great job coming out with the new rockers. I think they are awesome. Do we have an expected time frame when these will be in stock? Also, I may have missed it but was a cost announced yet? I assume these new roller tips will be much better for heads with bronze guides, correct?

Rebelfromva

At what point is upgrading stock rockers recommended?

I see they are now listed on their website.

WOW!! That is super Impressive, lets put this in perspective, a paper clip
weighs approximately 1 gram, so imagine 8 paper clips, that is the weight
of the extra material needed to support and the roller itself.
What kind of material is the roller made of?
