Stock huh? That way when you get a big cam and spin your engine to 6500 it will dump needle bearings everywhere.....And didnt the question ask which do you prefer between Yellow Terras and Harland Sharpe?
theres been plenty of guys who have ran single digits on stockers.
i also agree on the stockers

There are other rockers out ther beside the Jessels..you chose the most expensive available..I have a brand new set of Yella Terras that are still in the box and I'll sell them for $400..when you get beat by the guy that makes 10 more HP than you are they worth it..I guess it depends on wether you like to win or lose..after the usual bolt ons lid, ram air, cam, heads, headers, 90\90 combo, and UD pulley..you have to find small HP gains where ever you can..like with roller rockers or electric water pump..both of those are about 10 HP a piece..so the last HP you try to find is always more expensive..plus you get better stability in your valve train with the roller rocker..your largest HP gain is always the heads and cam..but unless you go to NOS there are no more large gains to be found for realitive low cost..hense the old cleche...SPEED COSTS MONEY..HOW FAST DO YOU WANT TO GO!!..ten or twenty more horse power will win you a close race... ..

and these wont have the heavier tips like the other rockers with the roller tips right? Just be like putting stock rockers back on the car, only they are better?
