I dont think there will be too much with a change of .020-.025" total... assuming stock parts to start.

Stock rockers can still be used but you may need different size pushrods

You could change the pushrods, or shim the rockers. It all depends on how close everything is when you seal it up. If you are running stock lifters, they like a little more preload than say Morels.
