the comp's aren't full rollers are they? Would it be worth it to save the extra 100 and get crane gold's?

Don't skimp on the pro-form and look for them to last very long, I have seen 3 different sets come apart and trash engines now. One of which was in a car that I sold the pin pressed into the roller tip comes out, or at least the bearings do and the rest is history. Get the comps not a good place to look for a bargain.

You can go ahead and put poly locks on top of those magnums that is what I can on a C4 I had for a little while. Lash them down and lock em

You will here some nightmare stories about the Pro-form rockers, even on the Mopars, but some have had very good luck with them too, i would personally go with the comps or cranes because of there standing in the industry, in all, the comp/crane rockers are still considered an in-exspensive rocker for there price, so go with what is known the best at that price range, sure, you may save 20.00 bucks, but will it be worth it, you roll the dice, one thing i will NEVER buy from pro-form again is there shift lite, thats a BIG POS., went through 3 of them before i went with an "autometer", problem solved, see where this is going LOL.
