Are there any recommendations from you guys?

I've called AFR and they recommend T&D shafts. I contacted several of the shaft guys; Jesel, Crane, etc. to get some info. I also contacted Yella Terra. They were very helpful and knowledgable about this set-up. I'm inclined to go with their deal but don't know much about them. Does anyone out there run their stuff?
My friend recently bougth AFR 227 heads and he had exactly same problem. He solved it buying T&Ds ($$$). If you end up to stud mounted rockers, he has leftover stud girdles if you need them (I don't know if valve spacing is the same in AFR 220). EDIT: These are stud girdles made by AFR for AFR 227 heads.
