Default stock rockers with large cam... hold up?

I've been getting tons of conflicting opinions on whether or not my stock rockers should be used with my new Texas Giant 113 LSA: 248/254, .615"/.622"



Should new roller rockers go in or will the stockers hold up to this cam?

Your wipe pattern will be wide and guide wear will be accelerated, I would go roller myself and correctly set geometry.

Mine has idled, and been reved with maybe 40 minutes of run time on the engine and mine are holding up to .651 lift but that's not saying much. I would say the yella tellas would definately help

What does the wipe pattern look like with that large a lift?
