I wouldnt waste any money on rocker arms, the stock ones will be fine with diff heads or a good size cam, just replace push rods and valve springs.....

I just bought some 1.85 comp cam roller rockers off ls1tech for $180 these rockers will be upping my lift from .551/.547 to .600/.595 i think for $180 thats a pretty good bang for your buck and you only have to remove your valve covers. When for a cam swap you pay for the cam, coolant, oil, oil filter, gaskets ext... it just becomes more expensive plus the 4-6 hours it will take you to put it in. When i install the 1.85 rockers i will post what differences they made.

aftermarket rockers suck for these motors IMO.
