Default LS6 Roller Rockers

Are there any differences in LS1 vs LS6 roller rockers? I did a search nothing cam up. I am building a forged LS6 and plan on using stock rockers. Anybody have the part number for stock replace LS1 or LS6 roller rockers.

The LS6 stock stamped rocker is a 1.7 ratio. I have 1.8 rollers on my LS6 ported heads. Can't beat the extra valvelift and lower friction from rollers.

So is there any difference between stock LS6 rockers and LS1 rockers? If I plan on getting them new trunions etc should I just go for the LS1 rockers?

The rockers are the same, both 1.7 ratio stamped rockers. The lifters are roller, but the stock rockers are stamped type, not rollers. If you went to a higher ratio than 1.7, say 1.75, or a 1.8 ratio roller rocker, you could pick up some additional lift with less friction. So, the stock rockers are not rollers.
