Contact Texas speed, send them in & get their stage 2.5 port job & springs. I think they charge about $700 for the port job with dual springs. You won't regret it. I personally run Harland Sharp roller rockers without any issues. Stock pushrod length should be ok unless you have them mill the heads (which I would do). Good luck!

I would also talk to Total Engine Airflow and Advanced Induction about port work/springs. With a stock casting I would look at either new OEM rockers, which are improved, or existing OEM rockers with the Harland Sharp trunion upgrade.
