From what i've seen in pics very nice. however I also saw a thread where someone had to trim the end rocker tails with 5.3 heads at the corners. I still wonder was this due to that particular casting or is this true with all 5.3's ???

I have HS rockers and 5.3 heads. No problems and I rev to 6800 at the track all the time. They were a drop in install. no trimming at all. They fit perfect and are great quality.
I would be sure about the results before I run those. Actually I almost installed it but I'm going to hold off until I get a setup together.

Ive got them on 3 cars now and fit is perfect.
Just before/after dynoed one today on a stock head z06 with cam and all the bolt ons.
Going from stock 1.7 ratio to HS 1.8 Ratio (220/224, .530 lift @ 112 cam)
Before : 392 RWHP
After : 396 RWHP
with most of the gain being in the high rpms...

The reason I'm asking is i'm getting some HS 1.7 with PP 5.3's stage II.
If I would run into the same problem as you did, I wanted to check out other options beside trimming the rockers.
