Let's slow down a little...

I think he might be going off of what lead69 said in an above post about Mancini roller rocker. But I don't think he meant it as mandatory, just good value.

But from the Trick Flow instruction sheet from their website:

Another important thing to note is that these heads require certain components and others are highly recommended. These parts are listed below:
1. Required: Trick Flow Specialties Head Bolt Kit (TFS-92030) or Trick Flow Specialties Head Stud Kit (TFS-61404304)
2. Required: Harland Sharp Rocker Shaft System for Magnum applications. (S72025K or S72026K)
3. Recommended: Trick Flow Specialties Rocker Shaft Stud Kit (TFS-61400613)
4. Recommended: Harland Sharp Rocker Shaft System for LA applications. (S70025K or S70026K)

the Harland sharp rockers are not the only rockers you can use with the trickflow heads. I have a 2000 360 magnum engine with the trickflow heads. The engine has a comp 550 solid lift cam and am useing PRW 1.6 Roller rockers. They are LA Rockers that allow push rod oiling. I bought the heads, rockers,rocker ratio correction kit and 3/8 th Smith Brothers push rods from Mike at B3 racing engines. This engine has been together for over 2 years and has seen 7500 rpm quite a few times. Have to get my 8 inch torque converter pulled and sent off to get restalled. But my junkyard engine in my projunkyard 91/96 dakota has ran a best so far of 7.16 at 96 mph in the 1/8 and 11.24 at 116.9 in the 1/4. I am guessing the dakota weighes around 3200/3300 with me in it and race ready. I am not sure how much hp I am making, I am guessing around 450? Which I think is pretty good, seeing how the 360 short block is all factory stock except the stock bore KB107 pistons
