My $.02: Don't bother with higher ratio rockers. Get a cam instead.

Seriously, going with higher ratio rockers will limit your cam selection in the future and the hp/$ just isnt very good.

Thanks did not realize that it would limit the cam shaft choices in the future.

If you read the descriptions of a lot of cams it will say "due to the high ramp rates, the use of high ratio rockers are not recommended..." or something like that. They also can give you more lift and interfere with the total lift and PTV clearance.
