I would say spend the money for the good ones. I have had the cheap ones break. Then your back to square 1 and spending more money than you would have to buy the good rockers in the first place.

Good used ones are better than cheap new ones. I learned that the hard way.

When they come apart, and roller bearings go through your engine, those $150 rockers just got REAL expensive.

OK, you have me sufficently paranoid. What rockers would you recomend then? Here is the rest of the engine:

351W
RHS 180 iron heads
Cam

In all my years of being a gear head, I have never heard of this company. Learn something new every day!

They're one of the top names in the business. I don't think they would put out junk to hurt their reputation.

But then again, Edelbrock put out the E-Street heads....

never skimp on valve train parts. this happened to me before i upgraded to the pro magnum xd rockers. not fun.

Make sure you get the right springs too and not just close enough. If the spring loses control of the valve it stresses everything in the valvetrain.
