What about my next FE build?

What do I use then? PRW? I would opt for T&D's, absent the Ersons from the market.

I would feel quite comfortable with these. In fact, they're probably better than our Ersons. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/CSP-S4006NBK/

We actually agree on something??

Let see if Barry weighs-in and gives an opinion on them. How 'bout you Brent?

Never used the H/S FE stuff...but used them on small blocks. I like them, they're good quality parts.

However, for that price, I'd go with the T&D's. If you're going to pay $1200, might as well go for the best of the best.

Do Jessel's rocker arm setup enter the conversation anywhere? I remember looking into them, but I think they were over $2,000+ plus the head work.

I would say yes. Having previously run them on my big block GM marine engines I bought a set of Jesels on eBay while collecting parts for my FE build. They wound up being for the Edelbrock heads and i went with Ford MR heads so I sold them and went with Erson, with which I am very happy. But like the ones for my boat, the Jesels were incredible in terms of workmanship. Both of my marine engines were run haaaaard at 6500 rpms in the ocean and I never had one single valvetrain issue in 300 unforgiving hours. But you're right, they are $2k.
