I am 100% sure this forum will find fault with them...
LOL...... I've long stop giving a **** what the forum masses think. But, there are a few who actually do possess the hands on experience and common sense to give up on everyone. I hope you don't either.
Jessel said they really aren't cost effective for our intended use. They are geared towards class racing that mandate use of stock mounted rocker systems. Looking at $2800 or so for these. Might as well go full shaft mount at that price.
They do look fancy though.

That's a pretty penny...but maybe they get into the hands of retailers and speed shops to drive the price down a few hundred bucks under MSRP...and I bet there is still a market for those that would prefer the idea of a shaft mount setup; but don't want to pull the heads to go through the time and expense of machining the heads for the shaft mount setup.
Make no mistake though, with big aggressive cams, shaft mount is the way to go IMO...these are still a great option for the bolt on crowd running a stock to mid-range cam.

Thanks again for posting these up...
I bet these will handle some pretty serious spring pressure. Weight has certainly been trimmed from the nose area, nice piece for sure.
I agree they have a place in the market. Not everyone is willing to yank the heads off for the extra machining required with full shaft system. I recently pulled my head(blown head gasket) and found some unpleasant hourglass wear patterns. I'll be going to some sort of roller tip rocker most likely. I'll try and post a thread about it in a few days.
Probably get in a argument over this but technically this is not a "shaft" mount rocker setup. That said, for a LS7 this is probably better then a real shaft mount as it has no offset rockers which I've always thought sucks.
these are the ones I have for my exhaust rockers and I run the pro aluminum for the intake
Why don't you run the same for both? I'd love to have that rocker setup but I don't think I can shell out that much money without switching to a solid roller to take full advantage of it.

I think Yella Terra's are the only option under $1K. 6670 series I believe. Might want to call and verify that before you order. They have two versions.

Why do you say that? Because it's not on a single shaft?

Well, there is no reason to have a billet rocker on the intake. I do that so I can to keep weight off the intake valve, It wouldn't be much weight but there is extra weight the valve train has to move. I put a billet exhaust rocker because it opens against cylinder pressure. being my car is a TT set up the exhaust sees a lot of cylinder pressure.
