Proform Roller Rockers
What Roller Rockers seem to be the best?
I'm looking at a set of Proform's for the center bolt valve covers at around $200.00 - Any feedback?

Is this what I'm looking for? Roller Rockers
Who has them in stock and do you know what the part numbers are?
Pony up another $100 and get a set of Comp Cams ProMagnum RRs along with hardened guide plates and push rods.

Summit sells them or you can go directly to Comp Cams.
I found that the latter move got me parts next day when Summit was out of stock.
What year Vette & what engine are the RRs going into?

"Is this what I'm looking for?"
It is if you have a motor with self aligning rockers , generally the roller cam motors,post '87.
Different part no for earlier motors.
Other eBay vendors have Pro Magnums as low as $260.00

Yes the L98s from '88 through '91 with the #113 Al heads had self aligning rockers.
Indeed you can get the non self aligning ProMagnums for around $260. I think that hardened push rods and guide plates will run <$100.
If you plan to rev your L98 into the region where you can really use 1.6:1 RRs you should install better valve springs and new keepers. Also, toss the tin oil shedders that are atop your stock springs to lighten up the valve train a little.
Since you have aftermarket valve covers I can't say if you will need to do any machining on them to clear the RRs.

I got the crane golds because they came with a hotcam kit I purchased. If I was going to buy a set again, I would go with the pro mags. I put a set of those in a friends chevelle and they are nice pieces.
