not needed, per se, but if you have the money, then go for it. my motor has 62k miles on it, and i'm replacing my rocker arms. i'm also puttin in a 231/237 at the same time, so its cheap insurance. along with double springs, and hardened pushrods, and ls6 ported oil pump, etc.

If you get rocker arms with that cam be sure you get stock ratio (1.7) arms, because of the fast ramp rates of that cam.

No not needed. There is even talk of a new cure for stock rockers spilt bearing issues. It's being worked out by Nasty Performance and Harland sharp.
Stock rockers, new trunion, bearings and get this a C clip to prevent bearing cap from comming loose.

K gotcha. LOL. I was like WTF man?

P-Z I saw that thread...they have any price estimate yet? Wish they had come out with that 3 weeks ago, before I picked up a set of YT 1.7's. I got a great deal, but still. That will be a great route for people who do cam swaps in the future tho.
