Default Rockers, Lifters, for Turbo app??

Hey fellas, got a question for you turbo rodders out there! What would you recomend for an iron block 383 as far as rocker arms and lifters go!!! I was going to do some hydraulic roller lifters with guide plates and was going to do roller tip rockers as well. My setup is in a 5200lb truck!!

383 Irnblk 21psi of turbo and 150 DP wet shot.

Should i stick with my plans or does someone have a better idea!?? Also who do you recomend I start looking to buy from!!?? I want roller rockers that dont require any modification but if thats not possible then whats the next best thing to roller style rockers that will fit no problem and handle the power im trying to pull!!?? Thanks guys

Oh by the way im using 7.400in pushrods

Nick

I'm just using comp r lifters, TR 7.4 rods, and stock rocker arms, I plan to get YT rockers or something like that down the road, but just because the stock rockers are known to come apart and leave lots of little needle bearings all over your motor.
