Someone just needs to take their ball and go home.

Unlike some on here who just blow smoke and talk [censored], I'll do some research. I no longer have the paper that discussed why not to use needle bearings on a reciprocating shaft, but it was more than just getting the needles to roll.

I realize the majority is always right.

Since I have done some actual testing, I don't give a shot what most guys do. There was ZERO power when I tested it. It would be nice if someone else tested it

Mad you are mad if you really believe manufacturers use bearings because are cheaper than bushings

What do you think about lifters with bushings? Once they figured out a material and how to get it oiled, many people switched, even though many gurus thought it a bad idea?

I also said it was marketing.

What did I miss??? I had to go change my diaper. Lol.

Completely wrong and has nothing to do with cost. Just your speculation same as your view on needle bearing rockers

with a guy who's handle is "Mad Scientist" I got to admit that's some quality trolling- unless he really believes his rants. Just got to his profile, click "ignore this user", and miss nothing.

Damn! Through all of this opinionated BS did the OP's question ever get answered? I'll say that I bought the T&D's for my -1 setup with a .690 lift cam and they have been flawless for three years on the division trail. Quality product and they PAY!

First set of roller rockers I ever saw were on a 331 SBC back in 1972. I asked the guy what the advantage was and his answer was so he could restrict the oil flow to a trickle to the top and keep more in the bottom where it was needed. That doesn't sound like a band-aid to me.
