Default stick with the stock rockers or not???

I am going with the voodoo 222/228 .568 cam. I have been told that the stock rockers are a great design and to stay with them, and I have been also told that the yella terras are a better design and will make around 20 more HP? Any ideas? I was told that the stock ones are lighter and overall better. I have also heard that a lot of people run into problems after changing the ratios. I am planning on staying with the 1.7 regardless of what rocker I use. Can someone give me some insight to this? Has anyone did a before and after dyno with just rocker arms being changed?

I have never done a dyno on just the rocker arms being changed nor have i seen one. But i say if you have the extra money then go ahead and get the yella terras. If not then i would just stick with the stock ones.....i kept my stock rocker arms and so has every friend who has put a cam in. I dont see aftermarket rocker arms raising hp enough to worry about them......especially with a stock bottom end car. Just my .02

If you want to upgrade your stockers...send them into Nasty Performance. They can upgrade them for around $250ish.

We have never had a problem with stock rockers.
