I think there was a bad batch of green bearings on the market some 15 years ago. This is where the bad rap really took off. That being said, I only run stock bearing and they are better than green bearings when it comes to durability. If I was to build a drag only car it would get green bearings...less rolling resistance. To me its worth the extra cost for the tapered bearings. Mopar knew what they were doing when they (over)engineered these cars.
