And what proof do you have to substantiate that?? Probably just your supposition. Since they're brand new there's no spintron testing that I know of.

Why do you need spintron testing? There is an added roller vs stock without - simple conclusion here.

Plus non-adjustable so how are you going to adjust your contact pattern? Tip wear has never been an issue...but valve guide side loads are and this will not help that.

Different pushrod lengths accomplish the same thing as an adjustable rocker. Roller tips are what's typically used to minimize valve side loads. There are several schools of thought on this though.

I now see why Michael stopped posting here...

Because of people like you posting incorrect information? Please tell me how pushrod length has anything to do with rocker wipe pattern on a hydraulic lifter.

The only change you can make wipe pattern changes (other than putting shims under the rocker's fulcrum) is to raise and lower the heel of the rocker. That can be accomplished by two ways, by different length pushrods or adjustable rockers. The ONLY way you can (minutely) adjust your wipe pattern is by varying the lifter preload. Your fulcrum position does not change no matter what rocker you have. You sir are the one putting up bogus information. Any time you'd like to compare automotive credentials just let me know!

Who cares about TSP rockers? That's not the subject of this thread.
  • You must change pushrod lengths for these to work with short or reduced travel lifters when going from OEM rockers (1.8:1) to TSP (1.82:1)
  • You must change tunes for a proper WOT calibration since you are now getting more lift
  • You will be subjecting the valve tips to a slightly wider (ratio change) wipe pattern and longer (longer roller diameter vs stock tip) contact patch and adding yet another variable to the unsolved equation.
Essentially, everything that makes the BSR's interesting to those in my situation, the TSP rockers are not.

If you want to argue about those, make a new thread.

$650 for a set of the TSP rollers is a decent deal. Pretty much 1/2 the price of the T&D's (~$1280), but I'm still more inclined to go with the bolt on adjustable T&D's. http://tdmach.com/product/ls7-nhra-legal-direct-bolt

Jesel's look very nice as well, and I'm a huge Jesel fan...but at ~$3500/set I doubt many will choose these. They "look" heavy as well. The 1.90 ratio option was interesting...wasn't aware they were doing that. https://www.jesel.com/pro-series-ls-pedestal-rockers

The price on the BSR rockers have been reduced to $599 for the LS7 version.

I bought a set of these but probably won't get to the heads until January so no experience yet with these.

I have a set ready to go also but need to finish the bottom end first, probably another month or two before its running.

I've talked to several people running them without issues. Seems to be a solid product and what I would run if I didn't have my fancy crowers.

I’m running these in my car and they seem to work good. They are a nice piece. Not sure what else to say about rockers lol.
