Rocker & spring for stock LS7? If you don't follow the Corvette boards you may not be aware of this, but there have been a number of reports of C6 Z06 cars breaking valve springs and hence dropping valves. There are also a number of reports of needles in the oil syndrome.
My Z is not here yet but should be in July. I'm debating whether I'm going to try and get ahead of these potential problems or not, but I'd at least like to have a plan. All I would want to do is replace the springs and rockers with proven, reliable components. I was leaning towards the Patriot Gold spring set and the Yella Terra Ultralite #6646 1.8 ratio rockers.
Will these drop right in to an LS7 with no other changes? Are they a good choice for this application? Other suggestions for this particular issue?

I'm getting one of the first sets of the Harland Sharp roller tip rockers for the LS7. They're in for color now. Should have them soon. They ran me $735 IIRC. It may be another good avenue for replacement for you. You can get them in the stock 1.8:1 or 1.85:1.
