I have run their style of distributor, worked fine for me. Their CDI boxes I imagine are basically the same as the 20 other ones on the market that do the exact same thing. I would not pay money for ANY of the el cheapo brands of roller rockers. Stick with an actual brand name for those like crane, compcams, etc. Too many horror stories out there about the el cheapo rockers breaking adjusters, crapping out needle bearings sending little metal parts through your engine, etc.

I run one of their distributors with no problem. I tried their roller rockers and they were junk.

Three of their distributers we were running in different Mopar's have had timing issues. Most worked fine for a season or so and then the timing went nuts for no reason. We have been running one of their boxes for a while now with no issues. We also did build a 500 stroker with their rockers and heads on it. I will let you know how those hold up when he gets it in the car and running.

Thanks all, I am kind of cautious about saving money when in the long run it may cost more, especially when it involves parts inside the engine.

Let me put it to you another way. I live around the corner from a Procomp dealer who is a good friend of mine, and I often get dealer pricing, and I just bought a Firecore distributer, wires, and coil instead.
