I like the stockers... Depending on your setup, you are probably better off just using them.

I Would Go With The Crane Set Up, I Have Used And Sold These Rockers To Many People And By Far, They Work. Pricey Though, But Work. Check Them Out On Cranes Site.

The best, lightest rockers on the market are stock ones. However earlier models or after fatigue they have been plaged with loosing their bearings.
Harland Sharp has a kit that replaces the trunions and uses C clips to prevent that.
You can send yours to NASTY PERFORMANCE for a rebuilt for around $260 last time I checked.

I have the new dart heads(225). The cam is a 608 lift comp cam. Some articles said something about some rocker arms will cause the knock sensor to retard the timing. This is what i am trying to avoid. But if the stock rockers work that good then i will just save that money and apply it towards something else.

In your case, you should be OK with the stockers. The Dart heads have a standard valve angle, and the geometry is setup to use non-rollers.

Yes they are out of the box. We did change the valve springs though. My engine builder thought it would be safer to use a double spring that is a little bit stronger than the single spring that comes with the heads.They are going on a 6 litre iron block (370ci) with either a F1c or F1r@ 15-17lbs of boost.
