Does Jegs ship your way? $229.99

Our R&D team has done it again! They have come up with one of the strongest, most ratio-accurate light weight rockers available. You can expect 15+ horsepower just by bolting these on and tossing those heat generating stamped OE pieces, plus you'll increase your rpm range thanks to our lightweight construction. Extruded from 2024 aluminum, these rocker arms feature the best of everything! Including US-made bearings in the fulcrum, 4130 trunion, roller axle and adjusting nut, heat-treated 8620 steel roller tip and pushrod seat. Clearanced for 1.625" spring and retainer combinations. We finish them off with a stealth black anodized finish and laser etch the Jeg's logo along with the rocker arm ratio on the face. Made in USA.

There's nothing wrong with Scorpion rockers!!:no:

I think that's who's making the Jegs rockers anyway.:yes:

Hey Cranker,
I installed a set of scorpions this winter and have my stock GM stamped self aligning ones. You may have them for free if you want. Less then 4000 miles on them, off my ZZ4 crate motor.

Here are a couple of interesting articles. The first is a back to back to back dyno comparison of stamped steal v.s. roller tip v.s. full roller.

An another interesting read where roller tip rockers are compaired to full roller on a spintron. It is myth #3
