on a stock setup you get most valve float by mechanical over rev.
on a h/c setup as long as you get some good springs your fine, you can use 918's with the tsp 231 but i'd recommend crane duals, great price for a good spring. and stock rockers are fine, but if you want true roller rockers look into YT or Comps. stock ratio 1.7's.
