No, there is no need for rockers. Most of them cause problems with valve float, and th estockers have been proven in many 600+ rwhp applcations.

There is no need for new rockers. You may want to send them out to harland sharp to get the bearings replaced (problem sometimes with needle bearings) Other than that you should be fine. I've got stock rockers with 3 different cams and 108k miles. No problems yet *knock on wood*

You could benefit from new rockers but they by no means have to be replaced.

I think that you would be fine on the stockers.

I meant that about your lifters. I should have clarified better.

If youre pulling the heads, think about replacing with some stock style lifters like the OEM's, comp 850's, or mellings. If the heads are staying on, dont worry about it. Also, as for the rockers, you can always get nasty nate to put his stock bearing retainers on your stockers so they dont eventually spill the needle bearings. No need for a stronger rocker body.

Its actually nasty n8, from http://www.nastyperformance.com , a site sponsor.

I think he actually sends the rockers out to harland sharpe to be modified, but his prices are better than sending them direct.
