Roller Rockers
So I am picking up some Trickflow 215s and will need to get some roller rockers. I was set on some Yella Terra's, but the guy I'm buying them off of has some comp ultra gold 1.7s that he would include with the sale for an extra $200. I can't find any feedback on people using these rockers. Has anyone used them?

I am running the YT Gen III rockers and have been happy with them. Are the Comps the later non-adjustable design? I would review the installation and see if they are capable of shimming. I needed to shim my YT's to get the correct wipe pattern and that also increased my pushrod length.

Another option is Texas Speed just released some OEM looking rockers with a roller tip. They're light and look nice. They had them at PRI.
Give them a call and see if they're selling them yet and for how much. Could be a good option for you.

I have used several different rockers on LS builds----My preferred choice is the Yella Terra Ultralight shaft rockers------Never ever had a valve train issue using them-----depends on your budget and how hard or how high RPM's you plan on running your engine---A daily driver with some occasional spirited driving any aftermarket brand will suffice----But if you plan on road racing or drag racing I would suggest the best there is--That is the yella terra's
PS If your budget is low-----I have had excellent results by simply doing the Comp Cams "Trunion upgrade" This upgrade converts the rockers to roller bearings and is plenty safe for running high RPM's with lifts below .600------But not as safe as the shaft rocker YT's
