You only need them if you run a set of TFS heads.. Otherwise the stocke ones are just fine.

You could/should have your oem rockers rebuilt by Harlan Sharp and then they are good to go.

The big advantage with HS is they won't ever puke the needle bearings.

With a shaft mount you get better stability at high rpm's. And with adjustables you can control the preload and wipe pattern.

An old SLP ad claimed like 10 or 20 hp. And tony mammo did a 383 build and at the end put on a set of RR's and gained a nice little amount of power. I'd have to look it up in the dyno forum.
