Default Crane Gold Race Rockers

I would like to put a set of Crane LS1 Gold Race Roller Rockerarms on my C6. I assume they will work fine, but wanted to know if there are any potential issues.

Only issues is if you go with the 1.8's and later want to use a big cam, it limits your choices.

I used them and was happy but I got a great deal on a good cam but the lift is just too much for comfort on the stock lifters and i don't want to go with the comp 875's.

I have used them on my Z51 6-speed for about 3000 miles and I can safely report no problems, a positive impact on acceleration and a negative impact on tire wear! Be sure to use the full kit and also upgrade the springs at the same time. I put in the titanium retainers but that isn't necessary. Lastly, I would consult the installation instructions on the Vinci Performance website and maybe even talk to Roger Vinci before you install them. I think that Roger actually developed these and his instructions are better that Crane's.
