rockers have to be LSx specific...not sure if summit makes that or not.

stock ratio is 1.7

moving up to 1.8s will gain some power, but require better springs. and if you do a cam down the road will limit choices, as most cams don't allow the use of higher ratio rockers due to the aggressive lobes

The stock rockers are very good parts and are more than adequate for the hotcam.
