Re: Roller Rockers for the LS1? the stock stuff is pretty darn nice.
its already rollerized, just the tip isnt.
not much other that you can do other than the exspensive jesel or t and d shaft set ups or the crane 1.8 rockers....
just keep what ya got if your not getting to crazy with things.

None are really going to be a direct replacement - even if they were you would be changing out valvesprings to compensate for the greater lift.
If you are going to spring for them you are looking at 600+ to get into the crane's - for the same price you can have some T&D shaft rockers or Jesel sportsman's - shaft rockers are going to be much more stable and stronger than the stud mounted counterparts. Honestly you probably won't see a big difference with either, but if you are going to spend the money get the best. It will allow you room to upgrade to a solid roller setup in the future also.
Bottom line - for the price you would pay for rockers, springs, etc. you can probably get springs and a cam install (or pretty close), and that will give you a much larger gain.
