What you you guys do if you needed(wanted) a 1.8 intake rocker ratio and a 1.75 exhaust rocker ratio on a small block?
I have some crower 1.6 ratio rockers I can use until I get the shafts sorted out. All the pro series shafts are all sold by the individual component.
Unless of course I can find a wicked deal on the parts off of fleabay.
Patience and all things will be possible.
Sounds like another justification for shaft rockers to me.
Dang it those things are like $1200 bucks.
I have limited experience and knowledge in this area. My education tells me that shaft rockers are usually employed when you are running extreme high RPM for an extended period of time. They are designed for performance longevity.
Anyone care to further educate me on this subject?

Jesel, crower, crane, and T&D.
The lower end stuff doesnt make the rocker ratios necessary.
I am leaning towards crower or crane. Crane has all the parts sold seperately and their website actually lists all the right parts and their part numbers to make it work.
The problem I have is that they have the qwik-lift thing and it makes me nervous a bit as they are talking about their ratios being higher than advertised. that makes me really nervous. So I can buy the pedestals and shafts ($600) and then each rocker is going to be ($60). So again $1400.
On a high HP, high reving engine, I would like the newer shaft mount rockers over that stud girdle BS. What a PITA. Good ones would last forever, and be transferable to any other powerplant.
A good stud girdle is a good crutch. Sometimes you are on the line between needing the 400 dollar part and the 1400 dollar part without a whole lot of middle ground.
I am reconsidering the shaft rockers and just using the 1.6 ratios until I switch over to a roller lifter get up. Then there might be some value in blowing 1400 bucks.
