I see a deal on CL in Indy for a set of their aluminum rockers. $200 with shafts spacers etc. Dyno time only. Looking to put them on a set of OOTB eddies on a 493 with a MP509. Thinking of a mild solid in the near future like a MP528. I got a very expensive education with a set of Pretend-a-Comp Magnums and would prefer not to go down that particular road again. Not looking for killer spring pressures as the heads are still running the Eddie springs.

OK....This has been done to death but youy need help. The Indy rockers--black for 1.5 ratio, blue for 1.6 ratio are decent. They are NOT made for race roller spring pressures-period. Street..they will run great--they come out of the box with a "nub" on the end of the ball adjuster--amazing but true--this pushrod killing feature is seldom mentioned but anyone that has a new set can take a close look at the ball and OMG! A set that has some "dyno time" ?? Who runs some dyno time and ditches a set of rockers?????
Getting a decent set of rockers for a BB Mopar is expensive--no way around it--The best cheap rocker is by PRW call Todd at Marsh Performance in NC and he will guide you through the process--Indys are aok for street--Harlands are awesome but way to freakin much $$$$ Mancini has Harlands with no needle bearings ( great for street and race applications) under house brand for a great deal--they still have issues like when you put the adjusters in the rockers they "machine" the aluminum rockers --rocker good , adjuster some crap from who knows where ( although they seem to hold up) we used in Amsoil Engine Masters engine and have to say AOK for the $$
Harlands #1
Harlands with cheap C$%#^ adjusters from Mancini very good
PRW from Todd --excellent for a street unit
Indys--horse pucky acting like real rocker arms stay away ( from anything they make)
Stamped Mopars--yea heck yea not real 1.5 ratio who cares??? run forever like the Eveready bunny but sadly no longer made--as they must have decided better choices out there? Best ever for street despite "said" issues put them on and rock! yea not adjustable but with a hyd cam they are the everloving bomb diggity will be sorely missed in years to come --mark my words
