Default Will changing rockers screw with my converter?

I have stock rockers, and am thinking about going to 1.8's. I know it will change the lift on the cam, which is currently a 222/224 .566/.568 @ 112. I have a TH400 with an ATI 4000 stall converter. Can I do the new rockers without screwing my converter. I know one of the determinig factors of what stall to get on the converter is the size of your cam. 'Lil help.

by increasig or decreasing power andof altering to power mand you may change stall charateristics slightly , But a mod like a change in rocker ratio should not have any significant affect on the stall .

No material gain in torque that would effect your stall.

You have an odd combination - a small cam but a hardcore tranny set-up. Are you spraying?

Why not put a more agressive cam in rather than rockers; the HP/$ for rockers isn't very great where as a little bigger cam with .600 lift will put some decent power in.

Yeah, I'm spraying 150. I'm not going to go with a different cam until I change to a 408. This motor still has stock heads, so when I build my 'real' motor, the cam will be much larger.
