I am in the market for a good set of roller rockers. The only thing is i refuse to pay $300 for a set. What rockers are u guys running and how do u like them?

I do not know what brand of roller rockers these are but they work great for me. I was told they were considered roller tip rockers possibly made by crane.......but I am not sure. My motor was built before I owned this car.

A word of advice (take it for what it's worth). When it comes to roller rockers, you usually get what you pay for. You can skimp and buy a $125 set and then have to replace them in a few months or you can buy a quality set once and enjoy them. I personally run Comp Cams Pro-Comps and I love them. There are several good ones to choose from within your price range. The really cheap ones come with cheap hardware (can you tell I have been there?) and they are loud and won't hold an ajustment properly.

I got the Crane Blazers (alum. full roller) for around $170 thru jegs or summit, for my
383 (hyd. roller). You can get good quality ones for around $200 easy... a hyd. cam
doesnt use much spring pressure, so its not that hard on valve train.

I use Comp Cams Magnum rollertip rockers on everything. They help reduce wear on the valve stem and rocker contact area which is especialy cool for solid lifter cam adjustments. They fit under stock valve covers too. Just avoid the cheapie import knock-offs. They are not even close to worth the money difference.

Crane Energizers are a good full roller. I have 2.5 years and about 10k miles on mine with no problems.

comp pro-magnums are supposed to be the best, really strong and lighter than the aluminum by design
but a friend of mine actually broke 2 of them, comp replaced free of charge
I use 'em on the '68

using GMPP (silver version of the crane gold race) on my 94 now (the new motor will be using comp pros also)

harland sharps are popular with a bunch of the nhra bracket guys back home

I honestly don't see anything wrong w/ the roller tips, but the full roller is less friction and that in the end equals more power
