Default 1.8 Rockers ?

I'm at that famous crossroad that most all 224/224 .566/.566 cam owners get too..."wanting a bigger cam". I was wondering if going to 1.8 rockers with my current set-up would be worth it ? My springs are rated at .650 or higher according to Livernois Motorsports . I have the Stg 2 LS6 Heads . If I did the math right, Harland Sharp 1.8 rockers would put me at .599 lift . I love the driveability with my current cam ,but I would like more power .

Also ,would I need to be re-tuned if I were to do this ?

They cost about $380.00 .

I've done a " search" and only a few post came up and most were about stock cam cars.

I want to know if 1.8 rockers are worth any gains with a H/C car ? Thanks in advance

The Tr 224 lobes are too harsh for 1.8 ratio. look at their site they themselves recommend against it.
