Technically stud rockers offer beter strength and stability. If you were going to race the engine and run large lift cams and high rpm etc then I would go stud but for a street engine either will be fine IMO.

The truth of the matter is it depends on what roller rocker you are using. A pedestal mount Yella Terra Platnium roller rocker with its large shafts and bearings is stiffer than the Crane gold race on 3/8" studs. The stud mount can be made stiffer by using longer studs and a "stud girdle" (aluminium plate that ties all of the rocker studs together and stops deflection) but then the price becomes comparable to the more expensive platnium series....
For most people who dont see the high side of 6000rpm - pedestal mount rockers will be more than sufficient. Shane

Its the pissy bolts that hold the pedestal down.But the Stealth shaft type are o/k as they share load between inlet and exhaust rockers..
Good quality stud rockers are from $480.00

Apparently the supplied springs arent too good for >0.500" lift. Which rockers did you go for ?

A change to Comp cams 987's will fix the floating vavle problem with cams around .550-.600" lift
