I couldnt see my self at 17 buying $300 rockers, I actually found some self aligning CAT 1.6 roller rockers on ebay that look just like lt4 rockers. I payed freakin $60 shipped and the car runs freakin bad a. whats the difference between my $60 rockers and,$200-$300 ones? I have spun them to 6250 and are still holding together just fine. I know the high dollar ones are stainless, and aluminum but why so much for the same thing?
I have right at $325 in my whole setup, hotcam, gaskets, new stock timing chain and gear, springs, locks, retainers, rockers, and installed it myself at 17 years old.
why spend $1000 if you dont have too one the same thing
I worked on the car a total of 2 days but I had to wait about 3 days on gaskets, before I could get it all back together.
hopefully will make it to hallsville friday, looking for 13.0s on stock heads, manifolds, 2.73 auto car.

 

I would say the difference would be how long they will last and rockers like the Comp Pro Mags are rebuildable.
When it comes to stuff like this, you get what you pay for.

 

I mean I can get 4 sets of these for one of those, and not even feel bad. and if my stock rockers lasted 112k miles and had no signs of trouble, I know these can, and I dont plan on puttin any where near 224k on the car at all

 

I believe they are like $260 if you bought them new. If you can find them for $60 and they are in good shape then you are in are ok.
i think they are decent rocker arms.

 

Well the ratios are the same, so no difference in performance gains. But less valvetrain weight is better, as well as strong materials. You can get 1.6 stamped steel rockers really cheap, some without roller tips if you really want to go all out.
