I bought them, but my engine is so mild it didn't need them, that's for sure. And NOBODY better complain about cost, as when I bought them the dollar was at 62 cents. I paid almost $5000 for my rockers. O-U-C-H.

Money well spent, not a problem in five years.

Hi!
I was wondering if the Barton HEMI Rocker System (the one with the individual shafts) is really worth it over lets, say, a Stage V roller rockers system.
Thanks!
Domingo
Short answer.....you don't "need" them for what you're building. Just buy a set of rockers that have a track record of keeping pushrod cups oiled sufficiently, and their ratios are close to the advertised numbers.
They will be for a 4,5 bore hemi,4,375 billet crank, stage V CNC raised exh port heads, pump gas.....want to shoot for 900 hp? maybe more if possible....

Great looking rocker setup, but they obviously look exactly like every other rocker system once the valve covers are on....
Time for some clear top valve covers.

Great subject.. How would the T&D's compare vs the Jesels? How would the Stage V's live, say in comparison, considering side-loading issues on valves? ...what would the expected reduction in valve guide/value wear life be?
