Pro comp Rockers?

Im using some pro comp rockers. Any feed back on that brand of rockers? I was reading on other forums and not to many good things said about them. Any help would be appreciated. What brand do you guys recommend?

pro comp = junk

some might say different, but that is my opinion. shitty castings will prolly break with high spring pressures.

What kind of motor are you building? what ratio and stud size are you wanting to run?

Reason why i ask, i have some off brand rockers i plan on selling. They are CAT Power chrome-moly, 1.6:1 ratio, 3/8" stud, SBC. i have had these to 8000 rpm and have had zero issues with them. still in great shape, will come with polly locks. $150 shipped

Very true. Pro-comp is cheap off shore copies of American products. They are not well made, and are prone to failure.

Never buy cheap parts, they're too expensive.

Thanks man i appreciate it. Yea thats what i figured. So far everyone tells me they junk. Ima have to look into some American made better quality ones. To much going into this project to throw it all away with these parts.

Too easy to spend a couple bucks more in name brand common go fast parts to chance those junks. Seen then all busted up for sale at swap meets time and time again. A reason for it.
