Default HS Rebuilds or Aftermarket?

I just got my Harland Sharp rebuilds back, I haven't even taken them out of the package, but was wondering if I would benefit more from running an aftermarket aluminum roller instead of the rebuilds. My car won't be spinning a ridiculous rpm, and from what I hear the benefit of rollers is most prevelent up top in the rpm range.....Just curious what everyone else would do w/ a similar setup. Which aftermarket rocker has the best fit/performance? Thanks for your help!

If I was in the market to sell them right away, I would take that offer. However, if I am better of w/ them, there is no point in paying out more money for a set of aftermarkets. If I decide I don't need them, I will let you know. Thanks!

i would keep them,they are light,reliable,and are stable at high rpm,you wont gain anything with an aftermarket rocker except maybe less valvetrain noise,but even this is unlikely.If an ls7 uses the same design as an ls1 rocker and spins to 7k no problem,then i wouldnt worry about them being an issue. keep them.
