I can't get the link to work. But I will say, if your spending the money for a LE package, and all the other odds and ends, don't skimp on the rockers. Most use the CC Pro Magnums.

They're a cheaper rocker, plus they are self aligning. Depending what package you go with, I would look into some non-self aligning Comp rockers.

Do not skimp on rockers, get a known good brand. With a higher lift cam get some NSA type, I second the pro-mags.

Self-aligning RRs can handle RPMs in the 6500+ range without any problems. If you will be turning 7000+ with your engine, then you'll need the guide plates and non-SAs. Proform Performance Parts makes many quality engine products and at a decent price. I have Crane 1.6 RRs, but would consider the Proform RRs. Your budget could also be a factor in selecting your RRs (Comp, Crane or Proform).

I have seen those things break from poor material, and their tolerances are horrible. If you want "cheap" rockers, Probe is the way to go, they are very nice for the money.

So, basically you are saying, "Proform rockers are a sub-standard product."
