The new LT based rockers are 1.81:1 now more like the LS7 rockers were. The valve angles are different also and place the rockers in a different mounting position compared to the LS based engines. I had a set of Jesel's that I wanted to swap over to an LT but they will not work and so far noone has a rocker setup that I saw for the LT engines. The best upgrade so far Ive seen is just to do the trunnion swap

I have seen Texas Speed has a trunnion kit that uses bushings instead of the captured needle bearings like the comp cams kit does. Not sure which one would be better.

Ive used the Comp kit and never had a problem but some have said they've had the Comp trunnions come apart on them. To me I think thats valvetrain issue but Im no professional. At least w/ the bronze bushing setup there is no parts to be pushed thru engine if something happened
