Default what rockers for LE2 h/c?

so I was planning on just a cam swap but decided to do H/C while the engine is out. I had already bought Comp magnum 1.6 RR's 1418-16. It says the max open spring pressure is 350.

On Lloyds page the PAC beehives will be 340lbs open and the max lift is .600 with the 232/240 cam I want to use and the rockers i have I will be close to maxing both. Should I just go with the patriots and other rockers for extra insurance? I

I would just go with the patriot springs. Lloyd suggested that for me and the cam I have is less than 600 lift. As far as rockers I would say majority of people use the Comp Pro Magnum rockers. They are super strong and ligher than most rockers. I wish I had a set myself.

You should be just fine with the CC.That's what I'm running and I ran it by him first and he said they would be more then fine. If they were gonna be a issue I would imagine he wouldn't have ok'd them.

Until the Ultra Pro Magnums come out, I'd use the Pro Magnums, not the plain Magnums. IMHO, you don't want to put in a big cam and not do full roller rockers.

I had a set of those and had scoring issues on the 2 front sets from oil starvation, went with the Pro magnums, motors revs smoother, quicker, and feels stronger. They may be fine for a stock motor, but I would hesitate to use them on a modified motor
