There really isn't any 'right' answer to this

No RAS:
Pro-There are instances where people can scatter rockers, and not ruin anything.
Con-There are others where it becomes rocker arm salad i the valvetrain, ruining anything

With RAS:
Pro-There are guys who have overshifted without issue.
Con- There are people who have had rockers come up and bind, bending valves. Also have seen (would hafta search again for it) guys still kick rockers sideways/spit shims with the RAS too.


As pointed out above, the only true 'fix' is to not mis shift, or over-rev. Sounds simple, but we all have done it. Those of us on track probably more than those on street, but it exists.

I personally have had a set of RAS in my car since day one. I dont' have good luck, so if I kicked a rocker i'd have metal soup uptop and ruin the head anyway. I figured the RAS may give me *some* safety. I would install them again.
