You might need to upgrade your stock rockers with this set of (Comp Cams LSX Rocker Arm Trunion Kit). http://www.ws6project.com/user_stor/...oducts_id=2950
The next level of rockers should be Yella Terra Rockers (YT6645).If you go with the Yella Terra rockers,They are a bitch too located.

That looks like it would be the ticket for your stock rockers.

We recommend aftermarket rockers with our cylinder heads. We suggest Yella Terra or the Harland Sharps.

I have TF 225cc and just broke a yella tera rocker, the push rod went right through it. I have 1500 miles on my new 408 stroker. But yella tera did send me a new rocker free of charge.

Default TFS 220 heads & Yella Tella rockers

I just installed a set of TFS 220 as cast heads from Vengeance Racing. I purchased the whole kit from them with their cam, Yella Terra rockers, gaskets, 25% under drive pulley, ARP head bolts, head gaskets and everything needed to do a top end job. The car dynoed 466 rwhp and 420 rwtq. Those heads made a great deal of power. I also installed a FAST 92 and 92 billet throttle body. I would attach a video of how the car sounds with the cam, koooks lts and GMMG exhaust with a OR Y pipe , but i don't know how to convert it to a file that works here. Just go to youtube and look up beachbud37. I have 3 videos of the car running and reving up a few times.

My Camaro really sounds bad ***!!!

I thought most people ran an aftermarket shaft mount rocker with their heads anyway?

Most do, and would be the better alternative budget allowing.... but as mentioned, the stock rocker shimmed .090" +/- and a longer push rod will maintain proper geometry on the TFS head.
