Default SpeedMaster Gold Roller Rockers

I am looking for real reviews of people using the Speed Master Gold Roller Rockers.
Don't quote what's on line, I'm looking for Pontiac owners experience.

About the only aftermarket rockers that Pontiac engine guys recommend here are, Crower stainless, Harland Sharp, Crane gold. Maybe Comp brand.
Many of all the rest are of shore made. Some have shown to have issues...

I'm going to try and return the new set of the gold 1.52 rockers, my engine builder won't use them.

The Scorpions that Butler sells are highly recommended by Butler. I have them on a hydraulic roller engine with no issues.
