Is comp pro magnum the way to go?

I will be purchasing a set of 1.6 full roller rockers in the very near future. They must be 3/8 self aligning. Through my research I have decided on the comp pro magnum roller rockers, but before I buy them I wanted to check with everyone and make sure this is the right decision. Maybe there is another brand I might be missing. What do you guys recommend. I chose these because they are supposed to be lighter than aluminum rockers where it counts and they are durable. Are these the best or is there anything out there better? Thanks.

Probabily more rocker than you need.
The trouble with all these race type rockers is if the Poly lock nut and set screw lock happens to back it self off, it comes right loose and can create a lot of damage.
For a hot street motor with a hydraulic or hyd roller the Comp magnum rockers are real good.
easy to adjust too. They use a stock type rocker jam nut and won't back off. Available in 1.6 ratio and S/A type.

What cam are you using? how much spring pressure?

I will also look into the Harland Sharp Roller Rockers. For the money they are very hard to beat....
