Default Roller Rockers?

I have been researching what roller rockers are the best for my setup and after about 3 months and still cant decide on witch one I am going to ask you all.

I am going to be running the Tricflow 215s this year with the Vic jr. intake I may have to rev the hell out of this think so I keep to find a rocker that can see some high rpm.

I was thinking the Yella Terra’s but have read they like to come apart. I like the jesell’s but don’t have that kind of money to spend right now. Not really looking for the cheap way out but some knows of a good rocker out there that is around $500 please let me know.

Where did you see the Yella Terra's come apart, I have never seen that and I follow the rocker threads pretty close.

CRANE CAMS shaftmount rockers fit the best on those heads. i hear of to much modification, and horrible rocker sweep patterns with any other rockers on the market.

Check out the Comp Cams #1500 system.

Might be out of your price range though.

Comp makes some adj roller rockers that arent shaft mount for a decent price. They also make shaftmounts. Also jesel makes some non mohawk rockers that are in the 700 price range I belive.

I have heard it from some guys and I read something about it on an Australian Forum. I have heard alot of good things about them but it those few bad that have me worried. What kind of RPM is your setup seeing? I will be shifting mine around 7000-7400rpm just dont want anything to come apart on me.
