Default rocker arms

i was reading in the latest GMHTP and an article was about a LS1 who had the MS3 cam with his stock rockers . . . well jist of it it started to wear his rockers and couldn't take the cam so after they switched to a smaller cam they threw on some trick flow heads with new aftermarket rockers and gained 50rwhp and 40 rwtq just goes to show what good rockers can do lol anyway i have th tr230/224 cam sittin in my room with my heads next to them but orginally i was goin to go with the stock rockers but i'm concerned about the issue they brought up on this car any aftermarket rockers you guys would suggest? the lift on the this cam is 575 intake and 563 exhaust and from what the article was sayin gm stockers can handle up to 550 any guru's have some advice or insight?

I've ran the **** out of my CETA and it has a MS3/PRC combo in it with stock rockers. The car shifted at 7K for the 1-2 & 2-3 up shift. Hell it has even saw 8K on accident a couple times on spray cause the shifter didn't lock in 3rd and went from 2nd to neutral

The rockers look great though
