they should vastly increase system stiffness while allowing you to run a lightweight rocker arm that doesn't cost a whole lot of money. This is very much worth a look. I hope it works. They have 3 spintrons last I heard so im sure they got more testing than any of us can put them through. Make sure you get a quality lifter. That side of the valve isn't as critical when it comes to weight. Maximize rigidity and stiffness.

I know a few people that run them. Makes it very easy to make an adjustment. I know Martin Smallwood thinks highly of them.

If I had a solid roller combination, I would definitely use stock rockers on a shaft setup and the Comp XD-A rods

I've seen the BTR shaft system used with TSP roller tip rockers for LS3 heads.

I wonder if the PAC 1905 duals would be stout enough to handle the extra tip weight of the TSP rollers? They're like 160lbs seat/420lbs@.650" lift.......
