Default Noisy Valve Terrain

I currently have Comp 918 springs and Yellow Terra rockers. Everything is clearanced but it is still pretty noisy my car sounds like a diesel truck. I have a Turbo 408 so I want some good rockers to handle 700-800 rwhp. Does a quieter setup exist?

I would swap the 918's and the Terras for Crane dual springs and rockers (1.72s).
you'll need more spring pressure to keep those valves closed with boost.

Do the Cranes fit under the stock valve covers? Is this setup quiet?

Yeap and they are the quietest i've ever heard.
They are variable lift so you will benefit from lower rpm trq increase (beneficial for boost).
They are not cheap however, $650 for rockers and p-rods and then the springs are extra.
