Second the MOREL lifters, but I would do Yella Terra RA's personally. Nothing wrong with stock upgrades just think the YT's are better. But $$ will probably be the deciding factor.

I run Morels and stock rocker arms with the HS upgrade my motor goes to 7200. The stock rocker arms are a solid design and offer lightweight and strength and on a GM head work awesome.

definately upgrade the rockers, I have the comp kit, 135$ not that hard to install, no more worrys about the stock needle bearings ending up in my oil pan,,,, as far as lifters go, I paid 500 for my morels, its a hard bullet to bite, but you will never have to worry about it anymore.

I just took delivery of a set of Morels, but they came with no instructions or spec sheet. What is the proper pre-load. Thanks.

My latest H/C is using new stock LS1/LS6 lifters I bought from Gaterman products the ran me $100. The rockers I am using are new stock rockers with the trunnion upgrade. You can look at my sig and see how it all is working together. By the way the custom cam I am running has close specs in lobe separation to the MS4 and has a 614 lift in and out on a 112 LSA. If you want info where to get the stuff PM me and Ill give it to you.
