They won't live long with those pressures.We have used them up to 600# open and they lasted about 200/300runs,once one breaks you should change them all.We also have used them with out any problems on 650 flat soild and 680 solid roller cams with no issues for years.300/850 you better use T&D,Jesel or HS.

I have a 706/661 lift roller but I don't think my pressures are as high as your asking about. 1970 Challenger, all aluminum 528 Hemi, HDK suspension, Tremec 5 speed manual

I am currently exceeding both by alittle with no problems yet. I am stashing money away as we speak for a new set of HS before spring time. 5692531-HC09(3).jpg (63 downloads)

If you are starting from scratch, the T&D's are just a few hundred dollars more. In my book that is a no brainer. Just make sure you run restrictions in the oil feeds to the heads otherwise you will have low oil pressure. Mike @MM

Mine are rated for .750" lift. They have a cup style adjuster. I am sure their ball style adjuster would handle more.

They then use a spacer (same diameter as a stock shaft) on the shaft when it sits in the stock saddles so everything lines up properly. You will need to restrict the oil feed to the rockers with T&D or Harland sharp rocker. Any rocker are that has roller bearings needs very little oil and will bleed excessive pressure if not restricted. We are a WD for T&D's. if you need priceing PM ir e-mail me. Mike @MM PS T&D's use a ball/ball style pushrod. These are commonly available in .050 increments.
