I think the rockers you have might be another brand.I have a set of energizers and the quality seems very nice for the money.I have not run them with a decent cam yet,though!

I think those used to be Cam Dynamics then Crane bought them out. Don't think they're bad for the street or mild street/strip engine but probably won't hold up to well to high spring pressures.

I used them on my 302 last year and had zero problems. I spun it 6500 with a Comp 305H. ------------------

They are Cranes "econo" line of roller rockers.
They are "ok" and will do the job.
We don't use or sell them as we prefer alternatives.------------------

Are those crane energizers better than the proform roller rockers? Even though the profors are billet ive heard bad stuff about them but dont know for sure.

I ran the Energizers on my old 11 second windsor motor. No failures with alot of passes at 7200rpm w/.591 lift cam Only problem I had was during installation. I had to remove some of the material off the aluminum body underneath the roller tip to clear the spring retainers. I've heard alot of negative talk on the pro-forms. I'd stay away from them. ------------------
