Hello all I'm I'm in the process of doing my first ls engine build and I have a couple questions I hope yall could answer. I have gen 3 5.3(lm7), I'm doing the btr cam kit w/ ls1/ls2 stage 2 cam and .660 lift springs. I will also be using new ls7 lifters and a pair of 799 heads I got from the junkyard. My question is can I reuse the stock rockers along with the trunnion kit? Or should I just upgraded to new rockers? Any advice would be appreciated thanks.

Going with CHE bushings to get rid of those caged needle bearings in the stock rocker arms will cost $200 while a new set of Texas Speed 1.72 ratio steel roller rocker arms with CHE trunnions will cost over $700. I'd stay with steel rocker arms for their strength.
