IMO dont do them unless they either need to be swapped, or your throwing a cam in the car at the same time...but dont dd a camed LT1.

I use and highly recommend the Comp Hi Tech stainless rockers. They aren't cheap, but, imho, are one of the most durable, reliable rockers made. I got over 16 years out of my last set before I had them rebuilt. Comp rebuilds them for $8.95/each.

I have Comp springs and Scorpion 1.6 RR . And I daily a cammed LT1 and she runs perfect every day (: pretty reasonable gas mileage too for driving mountain roads. A lot more per gallon than I assumed.
