Best brand/price on 1.7 roller rockers??

[SoCal Rebell]

I need some opinions, what is the best brand of 1.7 roller rocker (T&D, Mopar, etc.) and who sells them at the best price? Quality is important.

FYI - you can get the Arrow Rockers for $429.00 thru the Sean Roe group purchase. See the Vendor section.

From what I've heard, pay the extra money for the T & D's vs. the Arrows.

QUALITY = T+D. MoPar simply "rebadges" T+D. They are the same.
But like BORLA......the best finished products supposedly get routed to MoPar..... MoPar lists for $1725 what many T+D vendors sell for $1200-$1300.

I DO KNOW that if you have warranty issues later on, your zone rep will treat the MoPar products as being more "warranty-friendly". I can cite several examples........

PartsRack sells the MoPar for about $300 off list. Thanks

Please don't confuse Crower Rockers with Arrows. They are not the same. Arrow rockers (which are not made by Arrow--but a respected company that has been making Mopar Roller Rockers for years) are perfect for the viper.

Mine are withstanding almost 800 Hp and I can daily drive my car. It is no louder than when the stock rockers where installed. Remember that spring pressures and rates of the viper engine, even with aftermarket valves and springs are far less than those of v-8 engines that opt for high dollar rocker gear. Save $ 700+ dollars to spend on some other modification while still getting a quality product.(im not a salesman for Arrow.........just another customer who wants the industry to know about a quality product at a fair price)

See them pictured on my website under performance packages.(the pic is of my own engine) Our Stage 2 Cylinder head upgrade includes these Roller Rockers.

But go ahead, spend twice the money for overkill, get a set of BIG, BIG throttle bodies too! LOL..........(not directed at you, Ron)

I was recently having a conversation with a fellow Viper tuner. He claimed to have a conversation with one of the guys at Arrow, and was apparently told that the Arrow rockers work great on relatively stock engines, but if you plan on digging into the engine w/mods that the T&Ds are stronger and will hold up and perform better under 'abuse'. We are checking into this to see if it's true. If it is, we will continue to use, install, and sell the T&D rockers.
I'll keep everyone posted.

I have a set of very slightly used (+/- 500 miles) T&D roller rockers along with (sp?)Mallery push rods for sale if interested.
