I have the SA ultra pro mag 1.6 rockers I still haven't installed them but they seem very well made and have a life time warranty I plan on putting these with the LT4 springs I have..My car is stock and should be ok with that set up..Keep hearing people saying not to use LT4 springs and I keep asking why?? Shon Herron used LT4 springs and comp 1.6 rocker to accomplish the LT1 bolt on record..Yes he used LT4 springs...

Now this would be cool if it actually sees the light of day.

Also will it need retuned? Bryan Herter Dyno tuned it but my buddy was saying with 1.7s the shift points may need to be higher than 6k?

You'll benefit from a new tune. Will you need one? No.

Just hack some of the supports and they will fit.

It'll see the light of day for anyone who orders the setup I'm waiting for someone local to let me borrow their car for a few days so I can offer a "full bolt-on" tune to accompany the rocker setup. It's not the cheapest setup, however it's an easy afternoon swap, no tuning required (but recommended), and absolutely 100% as reliable as a stock motor. 1.7-1.9 ratio on the intake, exhaust likes a 1.6 or 1.7.
