Pros/Cons self centering RR's

Is there any real diferances as far as preformance of the self centering and the guided RR's

say on a 6000 RPM ~ 450 HP motor for example

Is either of them better for RPM Handling

Thanks for any info

Hello there again buddy.
How you been?
From what i understand, both work fine. If you remember, i have non self-centering rockers and guideplates on my engine. It spins very nicely to 6500, not making much power above that.
I think both handle rpm fine. The LT4 used Crane self-centering roller rockers stock, and it probobly spun to the high 6000s considering its design.
Still trying to figure out which ones to get eh? Good Luck.
Paul
