Default roller rocker ?

im looking to buy a set of full roller rockers in the stock ratio to put on a new set of heads im getting so i dont have to reuse the oem ones i have with 60k on them.
im not looking for anything special i just want them to be full roller and stock ratio (i have an f14 cam) and not sap any hp and be able to run to 7k with them.

I am panning on after the holidays running the Jessels on my car. MTI sells them there priced high but I guess you get what you pay for.

I don't believe the stocker can be modified to incorporate a roller on the tip. I am running the Cranes, which are full rollers. They also accelerate faster off the seat and will fit under stock center bolt valve covers without modifications. I looked at the Jesels and the others, but you have to modify the pushrod holes and do other modifications to get them to fit. The Cranes dropped right in.
