I have been running non-blue stripes with a 591" cam for 3 years now. No problems...and I have banged this car off the limiter ALOT! I think alot of it has to do with people just putting them on and not checking installed heights/coil bind. I know not everyone wants to do this, but it should be done.

Also,the Comp shaft rockers are made by a company called DRE, not T&D. I have seen a set of the DRE's, they are the exact same rocker.

The comp shaft mounts are now made by T&D. They are no longer made by DRE. They have different parts number to distinguish them.

The beehive style spring will out perform a dual spring any day. Weight, harmonics,dynamics......and still be just as durable
I agree with the harmonics part. There is a very good reason chevrolet is using the ovate wire beehive spring on the LS6 engine...I bet it is for longevity.
