Default questions on rocker arms

I need a set of roller rockers. I am looking at 1.6 ratio, 3/8" stud for Trick Flow Twisted Wedge heads. I am also getting the TFS stage 1 cam (duration 221/225 with .499"/510" lift.) The car is supercharged (9 PSI) with a Track Heat intake, 75mm throttle body, and 42# injectors.

I am leaning in the direction of the Trick Flow. But, I am looking to a cheaper alternative. I was considering the Jegs set. I do not plan on making more than the 500hp (at the crank) range by the time I am done, although 450hp is more realistic.

Any suggestions?

I have ran these rockers before with no problems. Back then my car made 336 hp to the wheel.

Thanks for the info, Shaun, I'll check them out. I am leaning towards a set of Harland Sharp roller rockers.

Does anyone on here have Twisted Wedge Heads? If so, what rocker arms are you using? I am thinking about a set of Harland Sharp rockers, but they are not the Twisted Wedge specific rocker, just the SBF (there are 2 different part numbers). Gearhead also has a set of PRW rockers that I had my hands on this afternoon(very nice), but they are not specific to a certain Ford head. I know I am not the only person to ever have a set of TW heads, so am I making this more complicated than it needs to be?

I could be wrong but I didn't think the T/W head took a specific rocker.
