Default Rocker arm question

Ok I have a ls9 cam and it has about 560 lift. Would it be worth while to get 1.8 rockers to take my lift to round .600 ?

Iron block ls1
Diamond flattops
Compstar rods
Stock crank
317 heads
Comp ratio around 9.5 to 1
Prolly run a t76 master power or t70 open to opinions

As long as there's not a clearance problem and the valve springs don't bottom out you will gain more power.

Different ratio rocker arms can add power, but consider the cost. A half pound more boost will make more power.
