Default Stock rocker question

I just pulled my valvecover and I have two broken scorpion rockers.
I called my machinest and he is sending them back for credit. Then getting me a comp adj. kit. This could take a couple of weeks.
Dose anyone think it would be safe to drop in my stockers for a bit.
I have a .590 lift cam. LS6 CNC heads.

I am still on Stock Rockers and will be for a long time. Mine are rebuilt by HS. Untill someone makes a reasonably priced replacement without the tip weight I will keep my stockers. I have a lot more lift than you.

Should I use the same length pushrods?

Also, are the comps a bad idea? How much is it for the HS upgrade?
