Default Rocker Question

Just finishing up a build and had a question. Car is running great so far but I was wondering if I was leaving a lot on the table with factory rockers ( with trunion upgrade). I have always done it that way so I don't have much experience swapping them out. Here are the relevant mods I am working with:
Tick SNS Stage 3 cam
Tick pushrods
Morel drop in lifters
TFS 220 heads with powder metal guides
Am I leaving a lot on the table by not swapping out the rockers? Any suggestions on what I should get if I do swap them out?
Goal is just a fun street strip car. It is not a DD.

Probably not performance wise. The reason I went to aftermarket roller rockers was the scrub pattern on the valve tips for wear. Stock rockers are good parts.

Thanks Darth. I guess I will roll with what I have for the time being and see how it goes. If history hold true I won't put but maybe 3k miles a year on the car. So far I have put about 100 easy miles on it since I finished it up and everything sounds good. Was going to pull the valve covers and check them out since it has been through 2-3 heat cycles at this point and just started wondering about the rockers.
