need help with nsa rocker setup going with 7/16 rocker studs 1.6 rockers guide plates hardened pushrods was wondering what brands to buy and what part numbers. ive heared some rockers dont work so i want to get this right input please

 

comp pro mag for rockers

 

+1 draggin97s10

 

pro mag rockers, pro mag pushrods, gm guide plates..if its cam only car or the heads are like stock or havent been milled too much they should be 7.200 lenght. but always check the lenght anyways.

 

GM guideplates are not hardened (at least not anymore).

You are better off with Trick Flow or Isky adjustables.

 

whats the part number on the pro mag rockers? ect

 

are there any other choices for guide plates

 

Many guys complain about Pro Mags and Crane Golds being so noisey. I see this on every of the 8 or so Forums I visit.

Scorpions are quiet as stock and I have them on my 388 LT1 and recently installed a set on my son's 96 LT1 Vette engine.

If you don't mind the noise, then go for it.

how bad the noise anyone have a video

 

ummm on mine they sound like an out of adjustment rocker kinda. id go with isky guide. since LT1 head excepts a screw in 7/16 stud there is no reason not to go with a 7/16 arp stud and a comp cam pro mag 1305-16. i made the mistake of not know i could go 7/16 its the same price so just go stronger

 

sorry i didnt read first post ur already going 7/16

 

comp pro mag 1.6 rr #1305-16
7/16 ARP studs #134-7103
Trickflow Guide Plates #30400623-8
i used Trickflow hardened pushrods. These i can not give you a part number for due to my heads being milled and .026 gaskets so my length is different

optional parts if needed:
LS7 lifters (now OEM replacement for LT1) #12499225
Comp pushrod check tool #7702-1

 

and dont forget to make a solid lifter when checking for pushrod length

 

whats some other good rockers

 

pro mags are the best/strongest. havent had personal experience with scorpians but heard only good things. alota people talk **** on pro forms but my buddies got a 406 sbc in an s10 and it has them no problems lots of hardddd driving and theyre quiet.

 

Not bad at all. If I recall it's no worse than stock as long as the valvetrain is adjusted properly. There should be absolutely no tapping. It's more like a dull whir and should sound like a well oiled sewing machine.

 

about how much are pro mags usually

 

^^^ believe they are 275-280 range new...i always see used ones on the sale sec. here for bout 150.00-200.00 range. scorpions are a good set as well i believe they are 180-190 new.

 

269 new off of summit for pro mags
