Default Rocker arm question

Hello everybody,
I have been out of the game for quite awhile now and was wondering if there have been any improvements over the stock rocker arms for a LS1? I installed a lunati voodoo 222/228 back in 2007. Back then I was told to not change the rocker arms because bad things can happen. Is that still true or has engineering and technology caught up and made something better?

Thanks in advance.

I've run the stock LS1/LS6/LS3 rockers on my LS swaps with zero issues. Similar size cam as you listed above.

I run Jesel Sportsman Steels in my turbo LS based on an LS9. All of Jesel stuff is top notch. It's a shaft system that bolts to the stock pedestal mounts. Probably overkill for some applications, but you will never have a problem with trunnions or bearings. They adjust way easier that than guessing at preload with stock stuff. The price is pretty steep but I don't like messing around with stock non-adjustable stuff.
