Default Roller rocker question???
ok I'm using tr ls2 cheatr cam and just purchased trickflow heads. Trickflow said I needed roller rockers, thunder racing said the tips on roller rockers are too heavy and causes valve float. They say I need to shim the gm ones and use a special pushrod what do you guys think?

Use stock rockers and correct length pushrod.

stockers are good enough..
just get hardened pushrods that are the correct length.

If you're going to spend the money on rockers, the only thing I could suggest is to have harland sharp (i think thats their name) re-do your stock rockers.
