Default Scorpion rockers and ETP 225 heads to replace 243 heads?

I have a 05 GTO with 8,000 miles on it, I had upgraded my valve springs to the comp 921's. But I have decided to build a forged stroker and bought a set of ETP 225 heads.

I have heard there is an issue with shimming the Scorpions on the ETP heads, anyone done this? Any issue's?

Thanks, Tom

I was under the impression only, stock rockers, jesel or crower could work with ETP GIII heads.

think comp was working on some?

Someone told me that they could be used, but it would take .060 shim. Seems like a lot.

Talk to Ed (edcmat-l1) @ 757-424-1740, he figured out how to make the Yella Terra rockers work on my cousins ETP/RHS heads with perfect valvetrain geometry.

I just thought that .060 seemd like a lot, but if you are using 30 to 40 with stock rockers, then I guess I'll give it a try.
