Until someone takes their engine to 12,000rpm with these rockers, they're out of their minds to charge that much for a rocker like this. I’d rather go with a shaft mounted rocker any day.

Spensive. I like Manton’s stuff, and I run their pushrods, but I wouldn’t pay $4k even for Ti rockers.

Or maybe they ship with a new pair of heads made of unobtanium so the threads don't pull out.

$288 each? $4,500 a set? Holy cow!

They will be super nice for those with the big budgets to buy them.

​​​​I wouldn't have even held that Manton rocker in my hand much less moved it around to see how smooth the trunnion rotation felt, knowing that price. It was like silk and very precise. Super nice part and way out of my price range.

Definitely makes a set of Jesel's or T&D seem like a bargain.

I dont think our pro steel Jesel mowhawks were quite that much...just under $3k IIRC. I guess after the valve covers they were, but they are shaft rockers, and by just the looks they appear to be lighter over the nose
