You want to use an adjustable rocker with a solid-roller lifter. Otherwise you're setting lash with stand height and pushrod length. And that's no fun.
I would use the T&D's if I were you. The JESEL pieces are very nice as well but much more expensive. It all how much $$$ you want to spend...

the T&D rockers are what i had planned on using, but i found out a buddy had a set of the pro-mags and wasn't sure if they were usable or not. the Jesel mohawks are bad ***, hell all the Jesel **** is bad *** but it's just to damn expensive to justify in my mind. thanks guys...either of you (G-Force or TSP) carry the T&D rockers and care to shoot me a pm with a price? thanks again
Just out of curiousity.. Why will the pro magnums not work with a solid roller? I dont have any experience with LS1 solid roller setups, but I've seen plenty and worked on a few SBC's with solid rollers and non-shaft mounted rocker setsups.. Only thing I can see would be the fact that I've never seen any rocker arm stud girdle's for ls1's and I think that stud girdles are pretty much mandatory for non shaft mounted rockers with solid roller setups..

They are completely adjustable and with reasonable spring pressures (500-550 open) and say a cam in the mid .600's I don't see much of a problem. Sure if your going racing the shaftsystems are certainly nice (and might make a little more power) but they also require spacers and usually some grinding on the cylinder heads as well. The Comp's would drop right on and not require any other parts or labor....plus look "stealthy" under your stock valve covers (no spacers).
Good luck....let us know how you make out either way.
