Crane/VHP makes a pretty nice adjustable 1.8 rocker kit that will work for you. The down side is it is pricey and tricky to get the lifter preload right.

SLP does a 1.85 version of the stock rocker,you'll need a good set of LS6 valvesprings.Expect a 10-12hp bump in power with no loss of low end power.A cam swap is a better value as far as hp per dollars spent.
