Stock 1.7

You can get your stockers rebuilt from Harland Sharp for around $200-250 I think.

Most cam grinds do not want you going 1.8. Unlike LTX where everything is 1.5 stock and they want you to be running 1.6.

Aside from a set of expensive *** Jesel rockers, stock is fine.

well i would say have your stockers rebuilt.
are you still running the stock cam? - i didn't see a cam in your mod list.
depending on which cam you run, you can either run 1.8's for a lower lift cam or 1.7's for a higher lift.
if your sticking with the stock cam i would recommend the 1.8 ratio.

HS will bullet proof those rockers for $250-$260 IIRC. Never have to worry about puking needle bearings again. Mine will get done next time the valve covers have to come off.
