Default Whats the story on the 1.8 rocker arms?

This was mentioned to me by someone and said that it would really benefit my car. I have not heard anything about these things except that it changes your cam profile mechanically to something bigger.. The lift that is.. Comp Cam says it increases horsepower and torque. How much they would not say.. 700 bucks is a lot for 5 to 10rwhp and possible clearance issues from what I hear. Anyone have these on their car? What kind of information can you provide me..?

I don't think 1.8s on top of a T1 would be a good idea. Valve lift would be in around .591, and the T1 ramps are pretty agressive as is, the 1.8 rockers would make the valve movement even more agressive.
