Proform Rockers

Ive only found comments on the aluminum roller rockers. How are the steel roller tipped ones? Anyone using them on a 400hp motor?

for the $ look at C.A.T. stainless roller rockers from jim pace perf. -They're like $170 a set, and they're full roller rockers. Why spend the $ on roller tips? full roller rockers are MUCH better.

stock centerbolt vc's clear roller rockers. (your profile says 1990)As for the money, if you're going to spend half the money(assuming you have stockers) why not do it right?

- not trying to bash in any way, but why spend money on something that's only slightly better than stock? I know that if you have a decent cam, then the stockers will bind in the slot, but if you've spent the money for a cam, spend the money on decent rockers.
