As ironic and un-loyal as this might sound....I think all of the Mopar performance stuff is overpriced junk. Take the MP distributor for example. Its the same as a stock over the counter one from Autozone (better off with MSD though)! The cam grinds arent that fantastic either. Personally, if I'm gonna buy a cam, I go to the people who specialize in making cams, their reputation depends mostly on how well their cams do, so they put alot of effort in making them the best.

I have went with MP parts on chassis stuff, only because they were the only ones who made what I was needing and those parts have been ok. Not really impressed with the Leaf springs I bought either though. The way I see it, MP is trying to take advantage of the mopar people who think just cause it says Mopar on it , it must be the best.

 
  i disagree mp purple cam shaft is one of the best durable cams made!!

Comp has the investment cast stainless rockers if you want roller tips, I use a lot of the Crane iron rockers for street use , they are very tough & work well but no roller tip
 the summit link didn`t list a mopar part

Looks like you can’t link via the URL in the address bar. Here is the part number:  CRN-69770-16 Crane Steel and Ductile Iron Shaft Mount Rocker Arms. Would I just reuse my stock shafts with these?

I also found these: CRN-69790-1 Crane Gold Race Extruded Shaft Mount Rocker Arm Kits.  Aluminum, full roller, and come with shafts. For 120$ more.

Actually, I have had alot of luck and good service from Hughes engines. They specialize in MOPAR, and know what theyre doing. Not exactly cheap though. I got a roller rocket set for 300 dollars and love em.

I use the ductile rockers for street use , if you are using double valve spring I would use the thicker Crane rocker shafts to stop them deflecting  under load

These are what the machine shop recommended.  With these, I can use ball-to-ball pushrods and not have to buy custom ones. The machine shop said they would loan me a few pushrods to find what fits.
Thanks

Btw: the 'machine shop' is SpeedOMotive.
