They are probably rebranded. TRY searching for similar/same looking rockers and search there their reliability.

done alot of research and everyone says stock rockers with the bearing upgrade is the way to go so think i will look into doing that. anyone know if its easy to upgrade the bearings yourself?

The trunnion upgrade is very simple if you have a pair of snap ring pliers, and a shop press....you could probably do it with a vice too, but I would highly recommend using a press....

I'm running a set of stock LS7 1.8 ratio rockers with the comp trunnion kit, .700 lift cam and they are doing just fine so far...though the engine has only seen time on the dyno thus far...

I talked to Brian one time about his kit & I think they're better than the others, I'm thinking about trying his on my drag car.
Unless you need more lift out of a cam you already have installed I'd stay away from 1.8s, L92s with an offset rocker are bad enough & no need to make things worse with a bigger ratio.
His trunion kit looks exactly the same as the (Comp) other brand kits, it's a few dollars cheaper though...

If I had to guess I'd say it was the same kit, just rebranded...

Scorpion rockers are great...
they are not rebranded... they make them themselves.


we have used them on several engines...
they fit under the valve covers without having to clearance the heads or the covers
and they work well.

Just to clarify I wasn't saying that the scorpion rockers were rebranded...I was referring to the trunnion upgrade kits...

In my opinion(and I'm sure most would agree) Comp, Crower, or Jessel shaft rockers are worth every penny.
I use Crower.

Just to put this out there:

Brian's trunion upgrade kit is actually of a better quality steel than the kit Comp makes and sells. Kip at Cam Motion or Brian himself can chime in and back up that claim.

If I do a trunion upgrade again, it will most definitely be with Brian's kit.

What is the difference between the Comp kit and the BTR kit?

The quality / grade of steel used to make them.

Hmm that is very possible...I wonder what the results would be if you did a metallurgical analysis on both kits...just to see how different they actually are...

Now I'm not saying that they aren't different, or that anyone has made any false claims, but I can't help but question the validity of this....
