Rocker search I am speccing parts for a new build. Aluminum Gen IV 5.3l RED sleeved and bored to 4.125" X 4".
Are there any roller tip rockers in between YT6667's and Jesel Sportsman series shaft mounts I should consider?
Thanks!

I have not yet selected a cam and therefor not springs either. I would probably be in the mid .6's for lift. It is a CSC engine, Vortech Ti.
I am not opposed to using rockers that are good to 8,000 RPM even though I will probably limit it to 7,500 at most or whatever Bischoff recommends. Rockers is one place I would not hesitate to over spec somewhat. Lifters is another. I have narrowed the choice down to 2116's or 2126's. The heads are Dart Pro 1 LS3 280cc so LS3 rockers.
At this point I am not looking to make a final selection, just to be sure I have not overlooked roller tip rockers that are as good a quality as YT6667's and not more expensive than the Jesels.
I am up for promotion and a VP is recommending it so it is pretty likely that it will happen and comes with a pretty strong raise. Assuming it happens, I will have a little more room in the budget for this build.

The shaft rockers do no fit some aftermarket heads. If they are powdered metal guides I would run stock rockers with a trunnion upgrade and arp bolts. If you have bronze guides I'd run the tsp roller rockers.
