Yes, those will work. No idea why they're more expensive but that price is comparable with other brands...

Yup they'll work and they are good rockers. However, I think (not sure 100%) that with Comp Promags you need to do some triming to the inside of the stock VC's to get them to fit as they have some clearance issues. As stated not sure 100% but check first and also remember the Crane Gold SA's are a great choice as well and they clear with no issues - that is what I have been running for the past 10 years and love em'.

Just about any aftermarket rockers require you to either trim or crimp the webs that support the centerbolts. Try a "search" - there are posts with photos.

That really sucks!!!! Those Crane Golds were some of the best rockers on the market. Kinda suprised someone didn't pick them up and reproduce them, but not really as there are tons of brands out there.

Crane Cams was bought up by S&S cycle and will, hopefully, bring them back as a major supplier. If you go to the website www.cranecams.com you can see that some items are available at this time..... you can always call them to check on a particular part.

hey guys, dumb question but is adding torque to the car different than addin HP. for example. if i put 400hp in the car with cai, rocker arms, cam etc..., is that going to increase the torque along with it, or do you increase torque in a completely different way? i always wanted this to be cleared.

Here's a great article. Hopefully it will clear things up for you.
