SB 305 350 Chevy roller rockers 1.5 7/16" stud

Im lookin for some new full roller rocker arms for my 305 TPI rebuild and saw these:

http://www.hdmaddog.com/Chevrolet-GM...-p3679364.html

The details are :
PRE-2302High Performance Roller Rockers Procomp Roller Rockers are extruded from 6061 T6 Aluminum. Manufactured with precision hydrostatic extrusion process which produces a uniform structure to eliminate any defects during the extrusion process. Larger needle bearing fulcrum can withstand valve spring loads up to 750 PSI, while the extruded body has a tensile strength over 60,000 PSI.



I was wondering if anyone had heard of them before because its hard to find reviews and im kinda sceptical and Im just looking for a good price but if these are junk I may as well spend the extra $80 for good quality


Thanks in advance =D

uh, what heads do you have? those are 7/16 studs. if you have stock heads they are 3/8 studs.

7/16" is the big block rocker arm stud size. Not a bad upgrade to consider if the heads already had screw-in studs.

I spent $280 or so on Trick Flow roller rockers. Very nice rocker arms, good valve spring clearance.

You could watch ebay too, I've see scorpions & a few other name brands
in the $150 - $250 range, cheaper name brand stuff if you don't mind used.
As for procomps I've heard both good & bad. If your using stock heads you'll need
screw in studs & guide plates, or the more costly self aligning rockers. I'm pretty sure the 89 engines use self aligning rockers don't they. these look interesting

there 1.6 though. the co. does the same in 1.5's too
