Default Rockers?

doing a H/c swap. MS3 with ported ls6 heads. I was told it would be very smart to swap out my rockers while I was doing the swap. What would be a good recomendation?

I went with Yella Terra Ultralites 1.7 non-adjustable. They fit perfectly and from what I researched, have the best clearance with aftermarket rockers. Had 2 sponsors on here recommend them also (for aftermarket atleast).

i swapped out my stock ones for some comp adj. 1.75's, mainly because they were used very little, and cheap, lol-put around 1500 miles on them, a few passes, seem fine-i have heard others say they are a little heavy, and with boost might need heavier springs, so i dont know

Stockers preferably with the trunion upgrade are the best with that combo IMO. They are certainly the lightest. If you were using an after market head my opinion would differ....
