Who would you recommend for rockers arms between Hardland Sharpe, RAS or T&D for a roller cammed RB drag only motor, best bang for the buck?? And where to get the best prices for them??

I have all three brands in four diiferent motors, I would not use a set of ductile iron rockers with more than 600 lbs open pressure now, I have in the past As far as quality and bang for the buck, now that I have used T&D and Harland Sharps I would buy the Harland Sharp now for my personel use on most of mine and customers N/A motors on B and RB engines with the standard single stock type rocker arms being shifted at or under 8000 RPM (not the all out aftermarket race stuff like the paired T&D and Jesels systems) The exception would be on a all out high RPM motor with the best heads and rocker gear, which would be a Jesel system on the rockers

I use the T&D's quite a bit as I do like them. Very high quality part. Don't be afraid of the Harland's either. Very nice stuff.

I have a set of Harland Sharp roller rockers on an old set of Zeeker Pro Stock Heads. Lots and lots of runs on these rockers. The only problem ever had was a set of adjustors that were too hard and kept snapping off. Replaced the full set and no other problems. Harland Sharp also has great service. I bought a used set at a swap meet that looked rough. I sent them back to Harland Sharp and they rebuilt them for $65.00 and replaced all of the bearings

T&D sells two different(or more) types of rocker arm sets ups for BB Mopars, single shaft set ups for each head and paired rockers on four different shafts and stands per head. All of them I have seen of both types are full roller rockers

Thanks for the feedback guys. I am just running CNC'd Eddy's so they will be for standard offset rockers and up to 700 lbs. max open and 7500 rpm max. Hardland's sound like good bang for the buck and I have ran them before with good luck (did have an adjusting stud crack though). If I do go T&D's can you only buy direct from them??

I have owned or currently owned all the rockers mentioned above,hands down the T&Ds are the best. The Harland sharp rockers use to be a good value years ago,but are currently almost as much as a T&D,or Jesel when you buy the big offset intakes for Victors or indy heads ,and they (Harland sharp rocker)are no T&D

I have a set of new T&D for Indy 360-1 and a new set of BB Harland Sharps here. The only differece I can tell between the two is the Harland is orange. The quality, looks, and feel are the same....to me.
