Self aligning rockers ?

Since it looks like neither proform nor harland sharp makes them... who makes the cheapest full roller self aligning rockers ? I think my stock heads need self aligning rockers since there aren't any guide plates installed.

92 Z28 5.7
------------------
Ported stock heads, XR270HR-10 cam, TES headers
Crane AFPR, Flowmaster catback, MSD ignition
#24 SVO injectors, 1LE aluminum driveshaft.

Best ET 13.3@107 mph

GM 1.5's and 1.6's are about $269 and are the GOld ones with GM name. I'd use the Comp Magnum's but they are not roller fulcrum'd, just roller tipped SA rockers and are bout $199?

Dan/Ede, they are ROLLER-TIPPED rocker arms!!! They are NOT FULL roller rockers!!!

I'd buy SA FULL rollers from COMP for $200 in a heartbeat but they do not exist for that price, unfortunately.
