Default Rocker arm question

I bought a set of Harland sharp non adjustable 1.7 roller rockers. They're bolted to my motor. Hasn't gone in yet. For a turbo build. Should they suffice or should I pick up a set of comp rollers? And no I don't want trunion stockers

should be fine. honestly it dosnt matter much that its a turbo engine or not to the rockers. the spring weight and rpm is what matters to the rocker.

i dont see any problem with them unless they brake down the road.

youre better off with stock rockers with the upgrade, the added weight of the roller rockers isnt worth it to the valve train

no you wont gain any power, last summer did a test of roller rockers vs stockers with upgrade and saw a difference in the dyno pull. the motor fell off above 6000 rpms with a Polluter camshaft, swapped to stockers and pulled well to 6800 rpms

added weight isnt worth it IMHO

Not worried about weight. Just seen some posts of them breaking. Didn't know if anyone knew anything recently

Have not saw them break and I've built quite a few high powered high rpm setups


I even have upgraded rockers for my 427
