Small block Trickflow heads and PRW rocker arms ???

12many said

I would think (assume) it would be the Harland Sharps as those are the ones they recommend. But, how many are running those on the TF’s? I’m reading of people using the Mancini HS versions. Has anyone compared/measured the two versions as far as final geometry goes? There are a few posts of guys using the Mancini versions on the TF’s as well as on other brands with good geometry, or what we are told is good geometry.

A member over on B-bods used the recommended 'E'-numbered Harlan Sharp rockers with his TF 240s and they weren't very good, geometry-wise. With their length I can't see the Mancini/HS being any better. Typical .100-ish wide swipe all happening in the outer 1/3 of the valve stem, he put on B3's kit yadda yadda all is right with the world. He was understandably bummed after spending almost 1K for the "recommended" parts.
Trick flow did indeed raise the pedestal height, by over .500" but they also run longer valves so it seems to be a wash as far as improving geometry is concerned...which seems crazy because the the valve heights are only maybe .125 taller? I suppose the angles and the whole layout of the head have an effect on final position.
