Nice build. But we've got all the testers we need for this one; We'll keep you in mind though.


what kinds of gains are going to be associated with this new part??

and hp? or what should be the benefits of this new design?
Good question... Raven SS got the majority of the question right. Its going to be stronger, much stronger. Being made out Titanium gives it an edge of strength and weight reduction. Weight reduction isn't that much of a concern as the follower weighs little to begin with and does not perform the same function as a rocker arm does. Continuing, the shaft of the rocker will be lubricated and the roller will see small amounts of oil as well to cool down during endurance runs and extreme use. There's a friction reduction channel in the center of the roller as well as tighter tolerance on the needle bearings. And of course lets not forget the CNC Titanium rocker body.

These rockers will be serious units gentlemen. We're going all out on them.

After seeing that you have 2.2L in your name, I forgot to mention that these rocker arms will be compatible with every 4 cyl ecotec, L61, LE5, LSJ and LNF

Here's our release the pics of the rocker arm... Drool over these bad boys:

Ok guys, We're really gonna move these babies through our dealers... The Jessel ones are $2300 bucks. We're looking at a set of our titaniums to be at the introductory price of around $900-$1100 MSRP for the first two months of product release!!!

Bug your favourite dealer for even better deals by organizing a Group Buy!!

That should make some people happy.

When do you expect them to be ready?

We're getting the prototype in two weeks. If it passes, then another 2-3 weeks after that!

While they do look great I have a couple questions that I may have missed the answer to. So if I may, What will the advantages of these be? In other words will they be offered in different ratios to effect the valve lift? If so how much over stock? Or can't that be done?

Basicly when all is said and done what will my $900 to $1100 be getting me?

The advantage over stock comes in several forms. Of course, titanium is about twice as light as steel and has a great strength property (in terms of weight) in comparison to steel. Weight isnt the determining factor in our decision to make these rocker arms, however, we made these to be replacements for people running high spring pressures, high lift camshafts. The stock rocker arms break during extended power runs, they are not up to the task of handling extreme duty.

So if you're just looking to buy these for the bling factor, it would be money wasted. You buy these to save your valvetrain when you've beefed up your motor.

The stock ratio is maintained. (1.7:1)

Ok cool. So these are for the guy who already is running a nasty cam and heavy duty springs, won't do anything for us who don't.

Stock Ratio. Yes, much better quality (CNC'd Titanium) as opposed to stamped steel.

Right, except for slightly less weight.

Sure, that's a walk in the park. We've already got one designed for Rods 1200HP car. Although his is a fuel cell design, we can definitely make something rather quickly for the delta. Let's make another thread and see the interest for such a system w/an AFPR and stainless or nylon lines.

We recommend them now that there is a replacement rocker arm. If you intend on doing any racing of the sort, a rocker arm that is stronger, lighter and better lubricated is less likely to fail.
