Are they the "Quick Lift" Rockers? You cam choices will be limted cause of those rockers. Some cams are not made to be used with 1.8s.
I use 1.8s on a Comp 216/220 in my truck and it has a slight lope, mine is a 6l thought.
Cam choice will depend on alot of other factors, Do you have any other mods?
Crane and DeVinci have cams made for use with those rockers I believe.

Depends on the cam. Most cam peeps recommend NOT using 1.8's with anything. Unless you get a minuscule cam.

Idea......
Ditch the rockers, sell them. Then buy a big cam. Easy.

i never understood why some get rockers.. just get a cam with high lift which would save you 400bucks for rockers since.

is your truck 4x4? Do you have a stall?

a 216/220 cam is gonan beed a good 3k stall to get low end back. A 210/218ish type cam with keep low end without a stall. But they make those cams with .550lift and you could get a custum deal with even higher lift and then sell the rockers. Whatever you get keep in mind that springs might need to be upgraded also. Its alotta different combos you can go with so its up to you. Rockers arent gonna make any cam lope, you just get more lift. Lift makes more power normally.. Duration/lsa makes the lope:-P

I Have A 216/220 If You Go With A 117 +4 Center You Will Get Your Bottom End Also
I Have 1.85 Rockers On The 216/220 Cam In My 6.0 And Love It
I Would Tell Everyone To Get After Market Rockers Cause The Stock One R Not As Strong And The Stock Ones Loss Their Bearings
