My first set were Trickflow 1.7s
My current Motor has Comp Platinum series 1.6's, as i was worried about piston to valve clearance. My trickflows were sourced here in AUS, and cost me a pretty close to 600. My comps cost me 550 US plus postage but i got a lot of stuff with them so postage was a lot cheaper. Brett

yeh roller rockers are good upgrade from pressed rockers. Main benifits is usually from a 1.72/1.7 rocker will give you higher lift specs with a stock cam = more power. Many companies claim 10-30hp gain depending on combo. Though using 1.72/1.7 rockers with after market cam and stock pistons may have issues with piston to valve clearance.
Also roller rockers are alot stronger and can handle a bit higher rpm work as opposed to standard rockers. Less friction and weight in the valvetrain the better but it costs $$. |

I run Yella Terra roller rockers and from personal experience, YT have treated me well in regards to backup / support when buying stuff from them as retail sale.

Remember, you get what you pay for. DSM sounds like a chinese knock-off brand (I could be wrong). IMO it's best to stick with the name brand parts - they may cost more, but that pays for better quality control and more R&D in the future. I have run both Crane & Yella Terra, and they are both good. Although Yella Terra has had some trouble with soft push-rod cups in some of their rocker arms back in the early 2000's.
Just make sure you purchase the right type of mounting - bolt-on pedistal is good for strong street engines, stud-mount (3/8 or 7/16") is required for more heavy duty applications. The Yella Terra shaft systems are a really good idea and very strong.
