Default stock rockers

I picked up a set of heads yesterday and they already have low mile BTR duel .650" springs installed. Will these wear my stock rockers out? Ive briefly read about the comp trunion upgrade. Is this a route I should take?

A trunion upgrade is a good idea. The springs will not wear out anything as people run a lot heavier springs with good luck.

I heard that BTR offers a trunion upgrade kit also. Can anyone get me a link to those?

Most likely can't go wrong with either kit. Trunion upgrade is worthwhile expense to potentially eliminate the the risk of dropping needle bearings from the stock trunions in the motor.
