I think it is good...don't forget valveseats, springs and pushrods while your in there....Crane makes a "quick lift" set that are supposed to be great. I put in the Crane 1.7 quicklift set.
Good Luck,
Damon

I got a set of Comp pro-magnum 1.75 ratio roller rockers for sale if you are interested I would recommend doing this either with the cranes or mine or whatever it basically increases the lift and duration of your cam and plus adds power since you can set the vlave lash just right for max power and you can feel a SOTP difference for sure.
My rockers are for sale in the classifieds if you are interested.

Harland Sharp has 1.8 roller rockers will be a great addon for your truck add some Z06 or 915 springs when you do it. I have a set on our shop truck they made a big difference.

I put some on mine and they really complemented the cam well. I did the cam first and drove it with the stock rockers, then did the rockers a few days later and I could tell a pretty good difference. I say go for it.
