I've not used them personally, but I pulled a set from another Camaro once and noticed that they had to grind their nice Crane roller rockers to fit in between the offset valves at the ends.

I havent used them either, but I think they are being discontinued. Summit only shows 1 part number, and the trick flow website doesnt even have them listed for SBC's anymore.</font>

Aus, I have a pair on my car and they're OK. The screwed up valve placement necessitates cutting the braces out of your valve covers (15 minutes with a rotary cutting tool) and some rockers have a fit. Mine cleared fine. TFS also recommends that you don't use rockers with a higher ratio than 1.5. So that kinda sucks. For my next buildup, I'm staying away from them.

Irocbsa hit it on the head. To make matters worse, you HAVE TO buy custom length pushrods, so figure spending another $150 over the cost of the heads themselves.
Yes, I really installed a set of these myself on my car (brother's car, actuall) so I speak from personal expereince.
Next time out I think we'll use a set of their more traditional 23* heads- fewer headaches and probably almost as good as the Twisted Wedge heads.
