I much rather prefer a bronze bushing over needle bearings any day of the week. More surface area = more support if you ask me. I think any gain with less friction with the needle bearings would be minimal. I haven't experienced the Pro Comps myself, but I've heard and read about lots of problems. That's enough for me. I'll probably get a set of 273 rockers and have them bushed. That is....on my next small block.
