They are $260 installed. There is no need to wait for the AFR headsunless you are planning something crazy like huge boost and need the extra clamping force. Most good ported LS* heads will do more than enough for most cars.

Sounds like a solid piece to me. Projected turn around time? And core charge for less down time?
PS anyone have info on that 2pc timing cover mentioned above? Interested!

No gains just better reliability as the stockers like to spit bearings through the motor. This is a better bearing and trenion in your stock rockers. Looking for a power increase get there full roller rockers for better control and less friction.
Sorry guys no ratio change the hardness of the rocker does not stay staible after the machining. Could have a set of SLP 1.85 done but for the added cost you could just do the full rollers.

You can do them your self but you need to have access to a press and get them set pretty precise. For the price I don't want to tackle it.
Interested give me a call we can get them out to you.
Thanks Nate

Sorry these are not on there website. You guys can contact me and I can get this done. I have some ready to go.
That does nothing but connect the 2 together and keep the pushrods in the right place. There is no need for a heavy shaft to keep side to side movement down. The stockers sit in there own cup.
