Default need opinions on 2 different brand rockers

i have a 222/224 566/568 cam with pp stage 2 heads, not milled. i was thinking with going with some harland sharp 1.8 ratio rockers because i want to take advantage of my heads, that would put my lift at 599/601, but i have heard good things with the new crane gold 1.7 ratio rockers, which would one would you suggest and which would i benifit more with more hp thanks

I have run both the Crane 1.8's and currently the Crane 1.7's. Their new shaft rockers are really nice, but require some modifications to the heads. The Cranes are adjustable, not sure on the Harlands. Not sure this helps, but if you have specific questions I can try and answer them. If you are looking for a major HP boost, you need to consider the cost. However, I have found them to be very quiet and provide a nice narrow wipe pattern on the valve stem.

Not sure if there is a reason these do not get much attention, but if not you might also consider the Comp Pro Magnums. They are cheap and adjustable, and run forever on the old school SBC's.

Nate at Nasty says that the Curtisbilt system is bolt on & fits under the stock cover, they are also adjusable.

i'v seen guys run bigger cams with more lift, if i went with the 1.8 ratio rockers, it would put my lift at 599/601, will i be alright there with stock pistons and my heads that have not been milled at all, i'v read is not lift you have to worry about its the duration with p/v clearance and my duration is 222/224, i was just curious
