Crower makes a shaft set for those heads that I've used on two cars. Work great. I'd start there!

Hi lsxvette,

The engine builder in charge of a "1000rwhp street car" project should be able to answer this basic question...

Stock with comp trunion upgrade and the TFS supplied rocker stands. Keep lift below .630 and let the PA do the work. You don't need a shaft rocker and solid roller valve train for 1000 hp unless you are trying to do it N/A or with a small shot.

T&D machine makes the shaft mount roller rocker arms for the Trick flow 255 heads I have both can order several options from T&D like light weight where they cut a groove off across the center, those come with oil routed to the tip rollers which I decided against it plenty oil flying around no need for extra oil pressure bleed, mines are also adjustable.

T&D have a racers program only charge for service parts needed no service charge and quick turn around you pay for the ride.
