Roller rocker preferences???

ghostrider05 · January 25th, 2012, 08:48 PM

Hey all, I just wanted some opinions, and brands of what kind of roller rockers you guys are running on your heads, particularly TFS 170's. What are some good recommended brands? I'm looking at Scorpions right now on Summit. anyone have any experiences with those? Thanks in advance!

I'm running Harland Sharp on my TW 170's, My son is running Scorpion on his TEA TW 185's, and my other son is running Scorpion on his AFR 165's, I'm also running Comp Pro Magnum's on my RHS 180's, and Comp Pro Magnum's on my new Fox Lake ported TW 170's, all excellent rockers. I've also run Ford Racing, Crane Gold(a little noisy), Trick Flow & Crane Energizer in the past with no problems!

Damn! Sounds like you've run the full spectrum of rockers! Thanks! I'm thinking I'm gonna go with the scorpions. The issue I'm having is while I'm measuring for push rod length, every push rod I've tried, including the measuring tool is rubbing in the top of the push rod channel of the cylinder head. I called trick flow, and their first recommendation was to get rid of the pro form rockers I have. Have you ever had that problem?

I've never ran into that problem, but I've never ran Pro Form rockers either. You will be happy with the Scorpion's. Although they have a fairly big body, you might run into vavle cover clearance issues, buy maybe not!

Ok, cool. I'd planned on using the stock valve covers for now. Any recommendations on rockers that don't have clearance issues?
