Default Has Anybody Tried Rocker Arms?

well i got the 1.85 rocker arms from comp cams. everybody on here will probably tell you not to do it. but i like them. gave the truck a real nice lope with the stock cam.kind of a whomp whomp whomp sound. if youve got a loud exhaust you probably could hear it pretty good. mine is about average, but i can diffinatly hear it. also got a few extra ponies out of it. but the main reason i got the rocker arms was to go with the cam i will be getting soon.

I'm running the SLP 1.85 rocker arms with LS6 valvesprings with my stock cam.I haven't dynoed but the truck felt stronger with no loss in lowend power.I think that if I had the mod to do over again I would go with the Yella Terra shaft mounted rockers,but I didn't know they were available at the time I installed the SLPs.The SLP rockers have been in my truck since last May with no durability issues.

Could I add these rocker arms to my current setup? Or is it pushing things too much, don't want to have any clearance issues.
Thanks

i think cam is the better choice if you pick the right one. You get more hp for less cash. But with the cam, you might spend alot also, b/c you will probably need springs and a tune.
