Default shimming rocker arm

Friend has a ls2 402 with stock ls6 rocker arms and stg 3 livernios ls6 heads. He is wondering if he needs to shim his rocker arms. I have saw acouple people doin it and some have not. He has the g5x-3 cam with the 7.4 pushrods.

Is his swipe off or something? if it's off even with the correct preload then yeah he might need to shim.

Hey Bill, this is Sam, here are the heads I have, I am wondering if I needed to shim my rockers. Also I got my car runnin, it was the TPS sensor.... For the tune I ripped Buzz's off of his car for now and loaded it to mine. I might be in need of some fine tuning from there. I will let you know...
