Looking for a inexpensive roller rocker?

1.6 and 7/16" studs,NSA, trustworthy and very well known brand but inexpensive, under $150 range if possible. Must fit in the stock lt1 center bolt valve covers as well with polylocks. Give part numbers and your experience with them if applicable. thanks

I've been running some 1.6 scorpions (7/16th stud) for a bit over 2 years now. Never had a problem. Love them

P.S, they cost $180 new.

You get what you pay for.

That being said, my buddy has been running a set of pro forms for quite a while and they've held up fine...

rob for the money the pro forms are decent and the scorpions are a nice choice as well. for 280.00 a set of comp pro mags are not cheap but probably the last set you will have to buy.

Do these platinum series or even the regular ones clear stock valve covers?
Whats the part number or will I have to use the narrow body ones they sell?

I used the platinums with stock valvecovers (but the covers were gutted, no braces, nothng.)
