Has anyone used the Harland Sharps, is the geometry correct, would you just pay the extra for the Hughes? Thanks Tim Last edited by Teamx; 08/21/12 04:59 PM.

Thanks Tim I guess I would run the HS, they are the same rocker as their roller versions, just no roller bearings. Just run a bananna shaft and run them. I like my HS over the Hughes I have.

I have a set with roller bearings in my SB that sees 8000RPM, and a set in an RB "hot street" motor. I also have a set of their bushed roller rockers for my street-strip RB. Main thing with full rollers is to use hardened shafts. Their customer service is great, and I have no complaints with their products after 16 years of using them.
