Stainless 1.65

Scorpions were no name once too and everyone uses them now that they are proven. Wondering if anyone has used these and had success’s

Let’s face it most of the name brands are made in china anyway now half the companies have been bought by china

Wonder how these compare might as well save money if you’re buying their stuff anyway.

Made in China is not the same as Made in China. My point is that a company can have any product made to any specification they desire. A friend recently made the point to me that with car batteries, there are very few manufacturers. In other words, they're all made in the same places. While that may be true, they're not necessarily made to the same specs in the same factory. So just because it comes from the same factory doesn't mean it's the same product.

That’s true but it’s doesn’t mean it isn’t either.
That’s why we test things.
If you notice Harland sharp themselves have 3 differnt Pontiac rockers original, HD , and Diamond
But if your not running a .600 plus lift cam
And heavy spring pressure these rockers may be just fine for your Pontiac , they say spring pressures up to 600
We could be looking back at these in 2 years when. They are $400 a set and saying man I wish I bought 10 sets like the edelbrock ego intakes that were so cheap at one time.
Or they could be junk and we say man I’m glad I didn’t buy that . Only way to know is when some Cheap SOBs try and them and find out. If I had a 350 to a test a set on I’d try them and report back but I don’t. Right now .
