    Rocker Arms

     



    A while back I got a good deal on a set of new Comp Cam pro magnum rocker arms. I'm running a solid roller .660 lift cam. Should I use these rockers or Ebay them and use something else?

    "good deal" would mean to me "magnaflux 'em and run 'em".

    I used to have the pro magnums... One broke after less than one full season. Now I have Crowers. That's my story

    I'll be watching this thread for feedback. Getting ready to place an order for a set myself and am not sure what brand to go with.

    I'm considering Comp Cams Ultra Gold rockers, or Harlan Sharp's. Any other really good ones out there?

    I've had the best luck with the Crowers, like Skids... Had a set of Lunati's that did real good, better then 300 passes on them.... I keep looking at the Comp Cams moly rockers, seems like they might be a good street unit and last well???????

    I hear those rockers are the Cat's Meow.

    How about Lunati VooDoo rockers? Any good?

    well the cat was lucky. that was not its last meow .them rockers were not cheap don at the time they were 350+ a set .getting back to what you wanted to know lunati has never made there rockers. the lunati blues were crane .the voodoos look to be a rocker made by yella terra made down under .PBM sells them still .the harlands sharps are good .and have used the scorpions / howards are good to
