hp/$ ratio is low. i'd opt for a larger cam and or a combination of both (cam and rockers), something along the lines of the VHP accelerated rockers and cams or another low lift variant cam.

I went to the Yella Terra 1.8 shaft mounted roller rockers $500. at TR. No mods needed to the rocker covers needed. With Comp. 918 springs & Chromoly push rods. Picked up about 20 hp & a lot of TQ.

All you are doing is changing your valve lift and a small amount of duration. You may as well change your cam instead.
