Default What rockers with my heads?

I was going to run the stock rockers but I am now thinking about swapping.

what do you think would be good with the trickflow heads 225 12:1 CR 236/242 600/610 114 cam in stock cu ls2 I would prefer a TRUE bolt on that does not change and stock ratio i can't accept anymore lift. Is it worth the upgrade? or should i put the money elsewhere?

If your heads are off the motor, I have a set of new unused DRE Racing shaft mount rockers (Same as Comp Shaft mounts) that I bought thinking they would bolt on my Dart heads. What I found out later was that these rockers require that the pushrod guide holes be enlarged and this requires the heads to come off. Since my motor was built and heads already on and I didn't have time to wait for the machining and custom head gasket, I went with my Harland sharps. These are by far superior to anything you can purchase for under $1000, can rev to 8000 rpm safely, and retail for $1150. I'm only trying to recoup my cost ($600) since I purchased them only 3 weeks ago. PM me if interested.
