Any chance we can get a GB on some rocker arms?

    I wouldn't worry about that. MM knows what they're doing when it comes to this stuff.

He mentioned on the side that these units should work up to 7,800RPM. They might go higher, but its untested. If my math is right (12 rockers and 12 spring/retainer combos), that would put us right around $625 for the package.

      We should not do the dual BMA/MM setup because not all rockers are created equal and out of an order of 60 rockers, only 30 might be suitable for the reinforcement process.

      What do you guys think?

      I wanted to say thanks again for the effort. It does make more sense to use MM all the way...it covers our arse if there are issues. At this point Im iffy.... its alot of cash....and its enough change to consider a cam at the same time......might as well get all labor done at once. Ill continue to watch thread closely......and live w/ 6600 rpm or so at track.
      I love sitting down and just driving!

        I'm happy to do it. I personally have no desire to start working up my motor just yet. I figured this is a good opportunity to get some good hardware and prepare for the future.
