Default Best ajustable Rockers with Comp R's?

I was recomended by someone(Dont wanna say who cause I dont wanna start any ****, I just want it fixed) to use Comp R's but found out later after reading many post's on this site that comp R's are not a good choice for my setup. Anyway, My bad for not reading up enough on them. I wanna buy some ajustable Rockers but wanted to find out what justable rockers do you all think would be a good choice for my setup? I would rather have stronger rockers than stock but at the same time lighter too. My valve train setup consist of a TR224 cam,Comp R's lifters,7.4 inch push rods,Stock rocker's for now,And AFR 205's. Please help me out guy's, Thanx in advance.

Comp Pro Magnum (1.75) is what I have...work perfect. Check your pushrod length regardless of what rocker you choose.
Set your valvetrain .008-.010" after zero lash...about 1/5 turn if you use them. Soak/scrub the lifters and rockers in mineral spirits to get rid of the cosmolene..then soak in oil for a few hours before install.

I say go back to the stock lifters and use whatever rockers you want. If it was me I would use the stockers with the comp r's. I had comp r's and yella terras and all I'm gonna say is that is not a good combo.

Morel lifters are the ****. They'd be cheaper than new rockers, but expensive for lifters.($500) No pre-load problems with them, but as with any set-up, I'd set-up the valvetrain for the pre-load you want.

well you already got comp R's lifters so just go with their adjustable pro magnum rockers, or any other adjustable rockers.
