Going to be needing a set of roller rockers due to my new heads with bronze valve guides and was wondering if the Texas Speed new OE style Rockers are avail yet ? Seen some promos for them but don't see them on there site ?

I saw them at SEMA or something like that and they looked like what I wanted. I called them a few weeks ago and asked about a price and ETA, they knew neither. Might try calling them again...

I ended up just rebuilding my stock ones.....

Talked to TS today said they are about a month out on new rockers

Did upgrade my stockers but need a roller tip with my new MAMO heads that have bronze valve guides .

Why not just use the Yella Terra Gen III rockers, which Tony recommends. They can also be set up to get a very tight wipe pattern.

I might get YT . Just so many threads of aluminum breaking .. want reliability and not get stuck @ track somewhere fours hours away . Did not know his head had bronze guides even asked if could use OE rockers before I purchased them ..

Updating this thread with good info....

The majority of the tech talk is being done on LS1tech. Here is a link to the conversation. It was last updated by TSP 2 days ago...

From the information I have seen here, it appears that the new TSP OE style steel roller rockers are the lightest over the nose rollers available, at only 8 grams more over th nose vs the stock set.

I am about to set up a new valvetrain with a new set of heads, and I am seriously considering these over the YT ultralite's.

Any news on these?

I put in new YT 1.8 this summer. I really like them.
I think it's just the older versions that had problems..
I did a lot of research on the newest design, they don't have issues.
My valvetrain (stock) seems quieter now too as a bonus

I would be concerned with the MMOI of the rockers, not weight over the nose. I can make a lead rocker that has low weight over the nose, but the MMOI would be much higher.
