Default good valvetrain combo?

For my L92 427, would these rockers work well with these springs?

Spend the money and get a set of PAC 1521's - good to .700 lift.

My $.02

I have those springs on my Livernois cathedral port heads and find them good.
It's good that now someone is making rocker arms for the L92 heads. The Yella Terra parts look good.

I've only read good things about the PAC 1521's, PAC were the manufacturer of the old "no hassles" Comp springs. I'm sure a one of the sponsors can help you out, Give Chris (Blanco99) a PM I'm pretty sure he could hook you up.

Currently I run the YT's with Comp 921's. The new cam requires a little more spring so I will be installing the PAC's with the new cam in about a week.

In my opinion - YES.

Livernois uses those springs on their L92 heads with heavy stainless valves.
Providing all other components are comparable, I would not see why the springs and rocker arms would not work.
Just double check your current spring diameters to make sure there are no changes to the spring pocket diameter.
Oh, and maybe consider stronger retainers and keepers.
That is what I would do.

the current springs are the TSP ones that came with my L92 heads, rated for .660 lift

from looking around, these would seem to be the same size correct?

Telephone Texas Speed and Performance and ask.
Or, go to Amazon.com and buy a digital vernier caliper for about $35.00 and start measuring.

I called up Livernois and they said there is no machining required, so they will fit fine. I put my order for both just now

Thanks guys.
