Default RM cams and valvetrain

ive been hearing a bunch of ppl on here talking about Rocket Motorsports cams and valvetrain. Why are they often overlooked by many ?

most people who are looking for cams tend to stick to searching for cams made by Crower, Skunk2, JUN...etc

If i had my choice:
Rocket h24x
Rocket Gen1 valvetrain

his valvetrain has accepted .570" of lift without retainer to valve guide or retainer to rocker arm clearance issues.

When u say if u had ur choice..... do u mean you would run RM over skunk,crower,JUN etc ?

Also their valvetrain...is it comparable to ferrea or other top of the line valvetrain components ?

My concern is that many times we associate price with quality and RM isnt too pricey at all compared to many other cams and valvetrain.

Rocket hasnt been producing products near as long as Crower, Skunk2 and JUN have. But just because they have been producing longer doesnt mean they have the best products (with an exception to JUN for obvious reasons)

Rocket = good quality with alot of research and development.

just check this out.

this is a B series valvespring test he did in the all motor forum:


His Gen2 valvetrain allows for just over full mm of travel over the supertech spring before it binds and its seat pressure is considerably lower.

Now i dont know what the comparison would be with Skunk2 springs or Crower springs, but crower recommends machining the rocker arms with their .060 added retainer lip while rockets requires no modifications to run the Gen1 valvetrain.

At this moment in time, he has the best valvetrain on the market....IMO atleast.
