I'm pretty sure they wont fit under stock covers, and if they dont, how much will the 1/2" spacers be? I wonder if there's enough slack in plug wires for 1/2" spacer to be used comfortably.
Two other questions that need to be asked are:
1) New pushrods are needed right?
2) Holes in the head need to be modified to clear right? Every set of shaftmounts I've seen yet for the LS1 have required these holes to be elongated. Not a problem if you're selling them to people that buy your heads, as you can just elongate holes on every set you sell no matter what.

But before I commit, Sell me on these Terry.
Besides being able to adjust the valve train and quiet it down abit, (also correcting the geometry) what will this $575 product do for me?
My install will be an 02 LS1 with PP5.3 Stage II heads and a 224/224 .581 112lsa cam running through long tube headers and ORPs and a 6 spd.
What will these rockers do HP wise?

You will be able to adjust pre-load without the hassle of adding shims under the rockers and so forth. This will be really helpful for people like me using the comp R's, which hate added pre-load. I'd go as far as to say that just torqueing the stock rockers to 20 ft lb's is a comprimise between right and wrong. With an adjustable rocker you can get the exact pre-load you want on all cylinders, which in my opinion will add HP. JMHO.
On another new Patriot product for the aftermarket! 
...I got a set of Jesels last month...

Guys, first off, we're not even sure if this is a new product. The comp and DRE rockers have already been on the market, and these look the same except they're a different color. There's some very important questions that need to be answered before anybody gets too excited about it.

btw, here is a pic of the comps, you can clearly see the groove in them.
