The General Motors LS-based engines respond very well to higher-performing camshaft swaps. But, the higher lift, heavier spring loads, and high-rpm operation can wreak havoc on those OEM rocker arm assemblies. Performance Racing Warehouse (PRW) offers several valvetrain upgrades engineered to work with the higher loads typically experienced when using a performance camshaft. PRW is known for offering great value on branded components you can trust.

Diesel Army has a new article up about our Dodge Cummins Pedestal Rocker System. Here’s a snippet:
In my honest opinion, in all of the upgrades available for diesel engines, rocker arms are overlooked. We know they are the bridge between the valves and the pushrods of an engine, but other than that, they get used for valve adjustment and we move on. When you take something like Project Deadspool, something that is constantly abused, valve adjustment should be maintained more often.
Just recently, I had the valve cover off of the engine at a race for a valve adjustment and I was noticing some noise during idle and even at open throttle. I was hoping this could cure it and once inside, I discovered that some of the valves have been adjusted way too tight and some of the plastic caps that separate the rocker and the bridge were broken.
LSX Magazine wrote an informative article on installing an older non electric transmission to your LS based engine. The basis of this type of swap lies within the flexplate and a spacer. Take a look at the in depth article here:
PRW Industries is proud to present our new line of Performance Quotient PQx Shaft Rocker Arm Systems available for Small Block Chevy with AFR 190-195-210 Cylinder Heads or Brodix Track 1 Cylinder Heads. We off them with a vast array of ratios; from 1.5, 1.6 and split 1.5 and 1.6 ratios.

PRW has the answer for the racer who’s ready to push the performance envelope with stiffer valve springs, aggressive camshafts, and now AFR or Brodix Track 1 Heads. Our shaft rocker arm systems offer much more stability than your standard rocker or even a rocker arm set with stud girdles. Our added ratio options and split ratios also add a great benefit for engine builders and enthusiasts.
URGENT: Tell Congress to Provide Tax Credits for Businesses Participating in Trade Shows
DON’T DELAY! Your help is needed NOW to get Congress’ attention on this critical proposal:
A bill was recently introduced in Congress that would provide tax credits to cover 50% of the expenses associated with exhibiting or attending a trade show. The Hospitality and Commerce Job Recovery Act of 2021 (H.R.1346/S.477) is important to stimulating our economy and creating jobs, as trade shows help businesses to develop relationships that lead to increased sales and new markets for their products.
