Haven't seen those talked about there. Hopefully ls7 application.

Also Lunati/Morel has some new different lifters out that look promising.

Interesting...makes sense I suppose. They have their own head castings, and of course sell assembled heads; but might as well start offering a complete top end package along roller rockers.

Seems lots of new rockers and stuff appearing. Too many choices. After 5 years mine are off to check and are just as new, so I don't have to make any decisions. Stick with what I got. LOL.

These texas speed ones look pretty nice. Could be one of the more reasonable LS7 options for sure.

Nice, need to look into these, maybe sell my YT's that I haven't installed yet and buy these instead.

If TS wants to put their money where their mouth is, they need to spin-test a few combos so people wont be guessing..

That is the formula for success - create an innovative product, perform testing to prove it works and define the required supporting parts.

Few reasons:

1) Winter here now, was busy, didn't get the chance
2) Not widely accepted by the LS7 community
3) Not 100% confident, told my Mamo and YT that it will work with my combo (PRC 265 heads/dual spring with about 430lb open) Told by both my spring pressure is fine with the LS7 YT rocker part #
4) Time has passed, as another option, this may be better? .......and this is closer to an oem style
5) For longevity, prefer steel over alum.

Would you have a link for that? I've not been able to find them on the website. Their Facebook page says they are for the LS3.

If you're talking about the TSP rockers... Edit: never mind, wrong rockers.

Are the rockers in the OP post a rocker that is being currenlty sold?
If so has anyone seen them in person or know anyone who has run them?
If so how is the wipe pattern? Does TSP have a way to adjust the wipe pattern on these rocker such as YT does?
The look nice, would like alot more information!

I did call and ask them. The regular LS ones will hopefully be out in January with LS7 ones later on next year (hopefully soon). There is a demand here for LS7 ones.
