The Energizer rocker is a step above Crane's stamped-steel rockers and a step below their standard race rocker. Crane's standard race rocker is rated up to 700lb "open". With the current cam I'm already a few pounds above that.

Based on the original line item price I was expecting the top of the line Crane rocker too, although if I had a choice of stud-mounted rockers I would have preferred the crower stainless with a stud girdle. That being said, after seeing what had to be done to the heads to move the rocker stud locations, I would have opted for a rocker-shaft. Welding, drilling, tapping, clearancing rockers arms, fitting Isky adjustable guide plates, etc... eats up a lot of hours….
