Does anybody here think that the current combination he has merits all the expense to change rockers and studs? 3/8 rocker studs have worked fine on street cars for a long time and he already has a nice set of rockers.

I mentioned I was running Crane Gold aluminum rockers on my drag car earlier but that is just what I have, I wasn't insinuating they were the best. It's true that a nice set of Stainless or Chromoly rockers are lighter at the tip than aluminum rockers.

I've decided to go with 7/16 crane golds. I need to buy arp studs anyhow, and I should be able to get a good chunk of $ toward the new ones by selling my existing ones. Thanks for all of your replies

Didn't realize you still had stock studs, those new rockers will work awesome for you.

NSA as most of us use means guideplates and many regular SBC ones have the wrong valve spacing. Best bet is the Isky adjustables $$$$$

Default Hot Rod Mag Article

Read the 1.6:1 Rocker article in the Hot Rod Magazine May 2013 issue.

After reading that article, I decided to return the aluminum Jegs brand rockers (I think they are built by Crane) that I bought and ordered the Ultra Pro Mags.

I figured the $124 difference in price was worth the peace of mind I am getting.
