RE: Rocker arm brand question
I wouldnt waste your time with them, have heard horror stories about the needle bearings falling apart and scattering them all through the engine.
since you have AFR's I would reccomend changing out the rocker studs to some ARP ones for a chevy that are a little longer. on my AFR 185 the rocker studs broke within the first 3500kms.
