Roller rockers. Are they all the same?

1) No

2) YES

I've had the T&Ds for a while. No complaints. Very well engineered pieces, but expensive just for street use. Just so you can have the same rollers used by the GTS Rs. Not worth the money. If your porting heads installing a big bump stick and doing major racing mods on your car, go with them if not Crowers are fine. Just my 0.2

I have many, many track miles with Crowers and I personally see no need for shaft rockers in a 6000 rpm, hydraulic-cammed car. The Crower tip style has been used successfully by OEM in the LT4. The T&D is a magnificent piece, but a waste on a mild motor, IMO. If budget is absolutely not an issue, go T&D.

If you don't know for sure how to install rockers, don't install Crowers, as a mistake can cause a dropped valve.

The best fix would be guide plates with simple stud-mount roller rockers.

I have installed all of the available rockers for Vipers including the new Arrow pieces.

I like the arrows for ease of installation as they are shaft mounted in cylinder pairs and have the backing of the same company that rebuilds your Viper engine.

The T&D is the top of the line setup and will give worry free service under hard usage. They require a bit more work to install and usually require a custom length pushrod.

All of the brands give added valve lift without any more valvetrain noise than stock, when installed correctly.

Feel free to contact me with any questions that you may have regarding rocker arms for your snake.
