How much are your heads milled? .010? .030? .050?

I have Comp, they are good. When I first started my motor, they vibrated loose within a few minutes. You need to torque all of the bolts way past their recommended setings.
Other than that, they have been good.

Check out the Comp Cams #1500 system.

You will need pushrods almost .400" shorter and valve cover shims (0.5").

I installed in my CTS-V (LS6) and it works.

I have the Cranes, they are a good light adjustable stud mounted rocker arm. You will need to loctite in the studs and guide plates. I have found you can get a pretty narrow wipe pattern with them as well if you play with them enough.

my heads have been milled .060" according to a dial caliper. i have 1 inch valve cover spacers so clearance is not an issue. nor is the milled heads, b/c i have valve reliefs in my pistons that are deeper than they have been milled.
