The Flash says: The Flash says: "After upgrading your Cadillac big-block with a performance cam kit, performance carburetor, intake manifold, and performance valves, you don't want to be digging out pieces of exploded stock valve train after your first full-pedal blast. It's much better to have one of our Cad Company shaft rocker systems keeping it all together!"

You just can't beat Cad Company's rocker systems when it comes to valve train stabilization. The OEM T-pedestal system is, at best, marginal for any kind of performance application. Over the years our shaft rocker systems have been honed and tuned to perfection thanks to everyone who has been involved with our program.

We recommend the Stage II shaft rocker assembly for any application where longevity, dependability, and reliability are concerned. Every engine built here at Flashcraft is equipped with Cad Company shaft rockers. We suggest that even restoration motors get the shaft rockers. Having had even brand-new OEM valve train parts fail, we just won't send our motors out there with anything prone to failure. (And you shouldn’t either). With hard-chromed 4130 Chromoly shafts, 6061/T6 aluminum supports and rocker spacers, you're in good hands, valve-train wise. For street cruisers, street rods, muscle motors and towing applications, where you're never going to see over 5,000 rpm you'll be fine with the Stage II setup. However, if you're shooting for lots of rpm, or using high valve spring pressure and valve lifts, the Stage III b and IV b Rockers use a one piece, full length aluminum support girdle for additional strength.

The Stage V Rockers use a solid, split shaft design with no through holes, for even more strength and rigidity, and are also available with stainless rockers for those who need them.

One of the benefits of having been around so long is that we enjoy the benefit of feedback from literally thousands of Cadders who have bought our products over the years. Many Cadillac pioneers, including Flashcraft’s own Courtney Hines have all engineered their own shaft designs over the years. However, Cad Company's innovative Stage V rockers beat everything else ever made, hands down. We recommend using custom length Chromoly pushrods (below) with both the Stage IV and V rocker sets.
