My OPINION:
1. Jesel... $$$$
2. T&D... $$$
3. Harland Sharp... $$$
4. Hughes... $$
5. ???

Sorry, I won't even include Procomp or 440 Source rockers in this list.

I don't think ANY of the above rockers are a great match for BB Victor heads, in part due to the Victors themselves. And the Jesels are far from "bolt on", which means they're really in a different price range than the others w/ the additional machine work required.

T&D offers MW-specific and standard-port-specific Victor rockers (different intake offsets). Hughes only has one version, which they used to specify as .600" offset, but I don't know if it's even that much (I think its only .550" now) since they redesigned them.

Victor owners get hind teet on rocker choices, IMO.

Earlier style is the "solid body" intake shown on the left, with the redesigned rockers shown on both exhausts and the intake on the right.

I have standard port Victor's which would take the same rockers, and I've been using Hughes since day one. Non-cryo treated, 420lb open spring pressure Mine are the early "solid body" design.

I have a set of non-cryo Hughes on my Victor MW 511. They survived over 20 dyno pulls several of which were on nitrous making over 900hp. Bodies look good, rollers roll fine, no shaft galling. 240ish closed, 740ish open for spring pressures.

To get everything where it needed to be geometry wise it used B3R Racing's geometry correction kit. It worked well and setting up the valve train was very repeatable once we installed head stud insert washers into the shafts.

Pulled really good way past 7000 and idled like a 509 purple monster lol.

Could you explain or show a picture of the head stud insert washers you mentioned above?

I used the HS rockers and just bolted them on without any geometry changes. They offer 2 different lenghts and i believe i have the shorter version. May have been why some had trouble with geometry when using these. Great company. I bought thru Don at FBO and communicated with HS directly.
