Need help fast! What for rocker arms on my setup? Hey guys,
I'm having a 408 built at a very reputable engine builder and we are using very good parts inside but at the same time I am on a budget. The engine is going to be boosted, E85 etc and approx 1000hp and its main purpose is drag race application.
My issue is, rocker arms.
I was planning on using Harland Sharp adjustables but I guess no one has them in stock.
So they said they need to be forged rather than cast since its boosted?
Anyway I wanted to keep the cost about $500-600 for the rockers and they of course suggested Crower for $1450 - OUCH & NO WAY
They also suggested a company they never have used but they thought it maybe great - Speedmaster? a full set of SS 1.7 adj rockers for $160???? WTF
Here's the link

Not sure what to do, please help thanks!

Save yourself some trouble. Save you money and buy some Jesel or T&D you will save in the long run. Call me I will give you a good deal on some Jesel's. I have them on my car.

Kip/Briou I agree after doing some research on those Pro Comp's it seems stupid to spend all this money on a good engine then expect a cheap set of rockers to control all the important stuff lol
Thanks for the input

Launching!
Kip also has some very fair pricing. I bought a set of Morel 5206 lifters from him today. They were in stock and significantly less than several other sites I've visited. Thanks Kip and Danny.

I would take a look at the Yella Terra YT 6638 shaft mounted adjustable rockers. I have a new set of these that I was planning on using for a boosted application in the future and they are nice rockers. With the shaft mount they would be stronger any of the pedestal style rockers. While a step below the Crower, Jezel or T D rockers they are also half the price. Good luck.
