Default Rocker Arms for 5.3 heads

Im putting 5.3 heads cast 706 when i do my cam install on my 98' TA

Im using a mild cam
COMP Grind: XR275HR

I grabed all the parts i could such as the lifters, rods, springs, retainers, locators, ect.

Only thing i have not grabbed was rockers. Reason being is im building the heads with all new valve train

Most would run stock rockers for your application, perhaps with a trunion upgrade.

I would keep the stock 1.7 ratio although there are aftermarket rockers that take the rato up 1.8. The higher ratio should not be required if you have chosen the right cam (speced on 1.7 ratio).

Thanks for the links bud, i planned on staying on the 1.7 rocker just because its not an aggressive cam
