    I am building a 526 KB Hemi w F3 ProCharger for Top Dragster and PDRA next year. The existing Hemi Rocker stands that I have (Blue and Purple Anodized) do not really put the Rocker tip over the valve to my satisfaction. The heads are (according to BAE) late 90's TF heads w rectangular exhaust ports. As others have no doubt had the same problem, I am trying to locate some Rocker Stands that correctly place the rocker arm over the Valve tip. In other words, a wider V on the Rocker Stand spread. I am ready to buy if you have the solution.

    BAE said they used a KB "Gold" stand. Admittedly, I am new to the Hemi world. I do not know what the difference is between what I have (sent them pictures) and the "Gold" stands. For our conversation, please assume they are stock length rockers. I am not trying to be evasive, but I simply don't know how to answer the question. As it stands now, the exhaust rockers barely reach the valves (looks better with lash caps), but are probably .125-.150 short of being centered over the valve. Just trying to avoid any errors before dyno naturally aspirated. The ProCharger solution is going on after valvetrain has proved to be stable.

    I contacted several racers that had the same problem. One said he built his own for his Jr. Fueler (Nostalgia Racer) and might be willing to make some but he has been unreachable for several weeks via phone or email. Coming to this site as others may have a solution.
