Hey has anybody had any experience with Scorpion Roller Rocker Arms? I am shopping for some 1.6 7/16 inch stud mount roller rocker arms and just want the best I can get for my money. Figured I would get some opinions. I have been checking out all of these http://www.summitracing.com/search/Make/FORD/Engine-Size/5-0L-302/Part-Type/Rocker-Arms/Stud-Size/7-16-in/Rocker-Arm-Ratio/1-6/Quantity/Sold-as-a-set-of-16/Engine-Family/Ford-small-block-Windsor/?keyword=roller+rocker+arms So let me know what you guys like or think would be best for my money.... Thanks

I run scorpions on my car. I wish I had clear Valve Covers,those things a nice to look at.
On top of being made in America by americans. My next set (different ratio) will be from scorpion.

Do either one of you know which scorpions you have. The Race Series or Performance line? Not that I really need specifics just was curious. The ones I am looking at are the Race Series I think they are like a gold color. I am also looking at the scorpion Performance ones which are blue, but about 60 bucks more.

Well no biggie I was just curious. I think I am going to go ahead and purchase them. Both the ones from summit are blue in color lol. I just wanted some advice on which ones would be good and it sounds like Scorpion ones are good quality (Made in USA). Thanks for the input guys. :bigthumb

Most of the guys on Hardcore50 recommend Scorpions as one of the top non shaft mount rocker arms. The silver platinum series are what I was told to get and what I was running on my old 358w, but I'm actually going to be running just the regular blue ones on my current combo.
