Default Anybody make good rockers other than Jesel?

I was looking at upgrading my rockers on my 243's, I'd planned the comp trunion upgrade but would like to look at other options as well. I've heard so many bad things about the Harland Sharp, Yella Terras, Scorpions, etc... Does anyone make an affordable(say $500 or less) set that is worth buying?

Wow, I'll have to take a look at them. I wonder why I haven't seen them discussed like the others I mentioned?

I'm a big fan of Harland Sharp. It's still a family owned business and gives great customer support.

Why do you need to change from the stock rockers?

I'm putting an engine together and plan on using a big cam in it. I thought it would be best to upgrade the rockers.

Jesel, Comp, and T&D all have good shaft rocker setups, but not for $500 or less.

all the rockers youve heard bad things about are basically the only affordable ones

just save your money and do the trunion i had them on my 404 worked out great. the only advantage of a lets say harland sharp or yella terra in they're a little lighter and they have a roller tip.

I think that's exactly what I'm gonna do. I'm not gonna be turning really high rpm anyway. Just a street car.

I am running the Crane roller rockers and love them. Only downfall is they are adjustable instead of bolt down. Very quiet and fit under the stock valve covers. I believe they were under 500 too.
