I have used Crane Gold Race aluminum roller rocker arms in my engine for the past 7 years.
They come in two different ratios:
1.7:1 - part number 144750-16 available at Summing Racing for approximately $860.
1.8:1 - part number 144759-16 available at Summit Racing for approximately $860.
The 1.8:1 rocker arms will increase the lift at your valve to .635" and .648".

The reason I'm looking at new rockers is because the cam above is new, and will be installed soon. The rockers which are in the car now are COMP 1.85.s and some people tell me not to use them because they will upset the harmonics of the engine.
Anyone agree or disgree with that statement?

I personally had major valve float with harlard sharp 1.7 rockers on my 383. I have an aggressive .620 lift 240 duration cam. I was running TFS heads which have a heavier intake valve. I swapped to yella terra 1.7 lightweights, fresh springs, TEA LS3 hollowstem turned down intake valves and gained 40hp/30tq to the tire.
I talked to a lot of people about this. The only thing that is bad about the stock rocker with trununion upgrade is cams with .600 and over lift, it will cause the guides to wear unless they are bronze.
I would NOT run those 1.8 or 1.85's you said you have with stock rockers. Just spend the money on the yella terras, they are worth it.

if you HAVE bronze they will wear out faster, the bronze guides are softer then what the factory heads use, thats why TF and such state you should run roller rockers
