Default roller rockers???

I have a 98 m/6 z-28 and I am going to be running the stage 2 PP ls6 heads, TSP torquer cam. The springs I have are the patriot gold. I think my rockers are close to being done and I want to get something that will be able to handle the new power without any problem... I also want to spint the motor about 6500 rpm's, what do you all recommend that I do in the top-end for this?

I dont think using 1.8 ratio's would be good for my set-up. I want to keep 1.7 ratio.

you can buy them seperately. thing is, you need shorter pushrods to use them. if all is stock as far as heads and gaskets (not milling of the heads and such), you'll need .150 shorter ones. these make the valve train adjustable.

i have most of the punisher suspension set up on the wife's car.

You will also need guide plates and studs, so the kit is the way to go on these.
