Default To install Trunion upgrade or not to install..

Looking for different opinions on the trunion upgrade. Comp Cams looks like a really nice kit to beef up the rockers. How hard is it to actually install them? Any hiccups anyone had with these? Any tricks I need to know before I screw up 16 rockers...... Also how is the performance over the stockers as far as a 600 or better lift cam? More vt noise?

if you plan on turning up the rpms i would highly reccomend it, i ran the stockers pass 7k now that im turning up the rpms to 7500-7800 i done the upgrade, after looking at the stockers and the upgrade trunions, the stockers having less surface area i would highly reccomend the upgrade. good insurance

.624 the new build is less though. its not so much lift, its more about rpms and spring pressures that make the trunion upgrade much more needed.

We did the trunion upgrade mainly from seeing what stockers look like. I rather have a piece of mind when doing any higher rpm driving. Even if it is just a stock setup that you beat the mess out of it.

We have .614 lift and a sense of security.
