Trunnion Upgrade - Which One? Hello.
I am thinking of doing the trunnion bearing upgrade on my stock LS2 in my 2006 GTO. Which is the best to go with? Comp Cams, Summit Racing, or Harland Sharp?
I have read of some people having problems with the Comp Cams with the lock rings sometimes breaking. The Summit Racing ones are cheaper and look to have stronger locking rings. I have read nothing but good things about the Harland Sharps but they seem to be twice as expensive as the Comp Cams.
Or is this even worth doing on a stock engine? And I do entend to keep the engine internals stock.

The Harland Sharp kit is twice the price of the Comp/ Tooley kits and adds nothing but 2 washers to each rocker. The Tooley kit is the best for the money and has heavy duty snap rings/ install tool.

It is exactly the same as the Comp/ Tooley kit's except it's twice the price: http://www.harlandsharp.com/conv_kit.htm

I saw that they use hollow trunnions, but IMHO, they are not worth double the price. I wish someone would knock-off the CHE bronze bushings/trunnion kits. I don't like needle bearings in rockers and the bronze bushed rockers would give some warning of an impending failure before it happens.

We have found the low mile or new O.E. parts are adequate for 99% of the builds we do here. As long as your camshaft lift does not require more travel than the O.E. rockers they will be fine.
We offer some rocker braces to replace the factory "flimsy" parts to aid in some valve train stability.

I wish that you would. CHE wants $460 for their bushings/trunnions + shipping both ways.

Just look at my clutch master, no way I can offer it as cheap as the competition. You truly pay for what you get to in that case. Then again, you can't compare the CHE kit quality with my competition, it's a well engineered solution from what I know.

I'll find a way to make it better and likely the price won't change much or go up; that's just a guess.
