I like my Comp Cams Pro Magnum rockers, $269.95 - just a suggestion. Everyone has their likes/dislikes.

I'm trying to save my $$$ for a Mini Ram so I was thinking of around $200 or less. Comp cams makes a set cheap. Can I get a good set for 200 or do I have to spend more. I just don't want to run into problems.

You can get cheaper ones, but isn't the extra $60 worth it?

I think Crane has some cast aluminum ones for $169, and Proform has an ad for $130-$140.

I think I saw a set in Jegs for $140. I believe they were Edlbrock. I would go look but I am at school right now.
