How are these rocker arms working out for folks? I've been interested in getting the Cathedrals with the CHE upgraded trunnion package for a while now... just wanted to see what people thought after putting some miles on them.

My TSP roller rockers have been flawless for 20k miles of hard street and strip use.

I run a Stage 2 ProCharger D1X now at 15 psi revving to 6,800.

Made 760rwhp on E85 through the A6 with Circle D 3400 stall.

I DD this thing, too!

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

I hope this clears some things up.

Lonnie, Would you be willing to share what the rocker body weights are without the trunnions installed? I believe a stock rocker weighs 82 grams without the trunnion so would that put your rockers at 93 grams without the trunnion?

Here is my reference for the 82 gram stock weight.

Thanks for sharing valuable data with the community!
