    Hey all,
    Im piecing together my sbc (355) this weekend and next weekend, i have brodix track 1's (std layout), SMRE cam (solid roller), Pac springs (#1225, they are 250lbs@2"). Looking for 1000hp level, what in your opinon is needed rocker wise, i need a 1.5 ratio on both inlet and exhaust.

    well i went to a shaft rocker do to the fact i have a big cam (solid roller) and high spring pressure.. i was going to run the same rockers but then when you add the price of a stud gurdel i was only spending about $100 more for shaft rockers..

    If funds will only allow for stud rockers the best setup is to put 3/8 rocker studs
    in the heads and use 3/8 rockers and a girdle.

    The trunion has more meat left in it with the smaller 3/8 hole and the girdle will
    take care of the deflection.

    I have traded several sets 7/16 studs and rockers for the smaller setup and added
    a girdle.

    But if you have the funds shaft rockers are the best choice.
