any reason to buy roller tip rockers
 
Just wonder if there is anyreason to run roller tip rockers over stock? I have to stay with the 1.7 due to the tr224 cam I will be getting. Motor will be a 5.3 punched to a 5.7

nope, stock works just fine. won't see a gain with aftermarket rockers so save that money :D

arent the stocker a stamped steel body with roller tips already?

no gains from doing the swap. you would most likely have to run a valve cover spacer if you swapped also, as most aftermarket full roller rockers are taller than stockers, and wont clear the valve covers.
