I think there are plenty of other parts that would limit RPM before the rockers. I hear the rockers are a pretty robust piece in stock form... assuming you can keep your needle bearings togather.

I would be more worried about your rod bolts.

And stock pushrods flexing before the rockers ( unless you've upgraded PR's )
