Rocker arm stud girdle?


Is there much benefit from these on a 392 stroker motor or are they mostly race only extreme rpm's?

Thanks

unless your cam has a lot of lift and/or you turn mega-rpm it isn't really needed.

Already have trickflow rockers, arp studs and guide plates so don't plan on buying them again. I know shaft rockers would be good but they just aren't in the budget for now.

Any particular brand of girdle to look at?
