Default best rockers to run???

Ok guys. I have been thinking of doing some new rockers, but am a little scared, and have no idea whitch ones to get. I do not want to brake my stock rockers, or start loosing neddle bearings. (read phils thread). What rockers would be good with my setup.

ms3 cam, lt's, no cats, ls6 intake, vararam, m6, valvetrain upgraded, underdrive pully, ported ls6 intake and TB.

You can send your stock rockers to Harland Sharp and they will install new bearings and trunions that won't spill out inside your engine. The price is very reasonable and alot of people on the LStech forum have used them with good results. Just one option, if your looking to keep costs down.

You send your old rockers to them, They disassemble them, clean them up like new. Install new heavier duty trunion bearings and a much beefier clip that won't break and spill bearings. Then the ship them back to you complete with hardened allen cap bolts that are stiffer than the stock bolts.

I've done this mod and it's very nice and worth the money for the peace of mind.

I have Jesel 1:85 rockers and am completely satisfied. Provide a high lift and I figure if the NASCAR boys us Jesel's, that's good enough for me.
