Rocker quality is mainly determined by failure rate. Scorpions fail more often than many other 'high end' brands, so therefore they are considered lower quality by some people. I am on of them. I prefer to use rockes with a low margin of failure for $100 more rather than gamble and throw away a motor. A motor is only as strong as it's weakest part and rockers see alot of action so why go cheap? Originally Posted by TubbyZ28

Higher rate of failure due to quality? Or higher rate of failure because they cost less and unknowledgeable people buy them and install them improperly?
Jay this is in no way saying you did etc, just stating a possibility for scorpions getting a bad name.2021 Charger Scat 392

My buddy has a set of Scorpions going on 60,000 miles, revving to 6200 regularly, hasn't had a problem. So I bought them for my current build.

I screwed up the install of the proforms cause I was in a hurry and didn't think. I am going to take my time this time around. Originally Posted by TubbyZ28
