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... ..
