Thoughts on standard COMP Magnum (not Pro) 1.6 rockers
I'm starting to assemble cam parts to go along with my CC503, it's not a race car; it's my DD so I won't spin the hell out of the motor. I'll be using SA 1.6 rockers. How do yall like the standard Magnum rockers? I know people recommend the Pro Magnum, but why so much over the standard magnums?

I ran the Magnums with the cc503 and worked out great. You really don't need to go with an NSA Rocker with that setup. NSA is good for high rpm rev's and I will always recommend someone go that route when they spin the motor near or past 6500 but I spun mine around 6900ish a couple times (incorrect shift mph's in tune) and all was well with the SA Magnums. Like I said for your setup the Magnums will be just fine and I know from experience, I grabbed them for $170 new off ebay take a look. Only downside I would say is that they are not full rollers such as the Pro Mags.

+1 for full Roller. If it's a daily driver and not planning on seeing as much abuse, you could go with SA rockers, but make sure you go with full roller, not just roller tip. The roller tip IMHO is just a gimmick to sell non rollers at near full roller rocker price. not worth the money to me, you'll get more from the rocker with the roller fulcrum.

I have been running SA Magnums on my set up for 2 year now with heavy driving, high rpm and track time and they have done me well. IIRC TPIS did a test on all the rockers and the Magnum was the one that they could not break.
