Default quick cam question

ok I am going with absolute speed stage II heads,
i am currently running a hot cam...i want a bigger cam to take advantage of the heads..but i was also looking at the SLP 1.85 rocker's..that would make the hot cam 218*/227* .569"/.569" on a 112 lobe sep...wich would be perfect lift and duration...but i was just wondering if that is a bad idea to go with those rockers on the hot cam...any insight or opinion's would be greatly appreciated <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Not sure but i dont think the rockers fit under the valve covers. So if you need to buy some new ones thats like 300 bucks there and would just be a whole lot easier to change cams. Not sure on the price of the rockers but just need to compare it to the cam and see which one is really worth it.

cool, yeah they fit under the stock valve cover's...but sorry about not being to technical about the question..my main concern is the ramp rate of the cam..is it too fast for 1.85's? or will it be ok?and would this combo be good?..thanks,
