Best Bang for the Buck Head???

Another factor with RHS heads is that for some reason, some brands of aftermarket rocker gear seem to cause unacceptable rocker geometry. you'll never get that with a factory head. (excluding T/A heads, of course)

You can't be serious writing that?

There are rockers that fit well on stock heads and others that have horrible geometry issues. Not to mention the constant battle with retainer/spring to rocker interference that happens with many including... are you ready... the factory 273 adjustables!

He needs to pick the direction he wants to go. Some like x/j, some ede, some rhs... how about some w9's just for fun!

Pick your parts, pay your money.
