Default rocker arms

Is anyone running the comp cam 1.75 rockers? I'm looking for a bolt on 1.75 rocker that doesn't require me to grind or shim my covers.
Thanks

Dont know of any. I just got the bad news myself but one of the guys said to just grind the covers without the exspensive shims and it will be fine so that is what I am going to do. Just lay the cover on after everything is in place and spin the motor over manually and grind away. Probably somewhat time consuming but it will work.

Which rockers are you running?
It sure would be great if GM performance would step up and make a set of 1.75 rockers for "performance use" Seems like they would sell a ton of them. The LS7 exhaust rockers would work, but that's too much lift for my application.

I have the comp cam 1.75 rockers on my 98 TA . No shims or valve cover spacers. I only had to remove the ballfel ( SP ) on the RR driver side of the valve cover ..
