Default Worthwhile rocker upgrade????

Complete Comp Cams kit. Comes with every thing you see in the photos: Valve spring and dampers, valve retainers and keepers intake valve oil seals, exhaust valve wipers, Roler tip rocker arms with a 1.52:1 ratio, lock nuts and pivot ball, assembly lubrication, assembly instructions, comp cam sticker.

All parts are new. These parts will fit most SB chevy engines including the LT1 engine. The rockers fit on a 3/8 inch rocker stud. The valve srings will provide aproximatley 125 lbs of seat pressure depending on the installed hight of the valve.

prolly get it for under 100 bucks is this worth while considering stock rockers are 1.5s ???

You might see a little gain but 1.6:1s are the real deal when going into that area...

That's a good price on the parts, but I don't think you'll notice much difference in performance, If you are doing valve seals anyway why not, but other than that a lot of work for a little gain.
