Default Rollers or Not

Can anyone let me know if i would bennifit with roller rockers instead of the stockers on my build. I will be using a A&A kit with a F1-R, ECS meth inj and running around 15 psi, looking to be in the high 700's or low 800's to the wheels..Here are my specs on the motor.

Here are the specs for the cam. it is a custom Wheel to Wheel grind from Competition Cams, part # 54-000-11, Grind # LS1 3761R/3763R HR16, Serial # V 8312. Cam Specs are as follows:
Gross Valve Lift, Intake is .595 Exhaust is .612, Duration at .050 is Intake 220, Exhaust is 228, These specs are for cam installed at 114 Intake Centerline, Lobe separation is 116.0 . I will send you a copy of the cam card in the mail also. Here are the specs I have on the shortblock from Wheel to Wheel, Race Prepped New 6.0L GM Iron Engine Block, 3.625" GM Crankshaft Nitrided and Race Prepped, Oliver billet connecting rods-6.125", CP Pistons-Custom Dish Forged, Federal Mogul Race Series Bearings, Speed Pro Ring Set- File Fit, W2W Custom Grind Camshaft, Race modified GM New Oil pump, C5R Race timing chain set, Degrease and race prep 6.0L Iron Block, Hone block with torque plate, Balance complete rotating assembly, Modify oil pump for improved oiling, File fit rings to spec, Assemble short block for Race prep. The cylinder heads are CNC ported cylinder heads from CNC cylinder Heads in Pinellas Park, Florida, They use new REV (Racing Engine Valves) valves in the heads along with new Bronze valve guides, the combustion chambers are 72 cc for the supercharged combination, along with new Comp Cams valve springs, retainers and keepers, the valve size was 2.02 or 2.05 Intake, and 1.57 exhaust. The compression ratio was about 9.0 to 1 for the supercharged combination

I added Comp Cams ProMagnum roller rockers to my engine to get the adjustability feature. They can be adjusted more finely to reduce valve train noise. Excessive valve train noise is indicative of higher stess from too much clearance which can cause problems at higher speeds.

May the BOOST be with you!

I'm VERY pleased with the results of my Crane Quick-Lift 1.80 roller rockers!

An added benefit is no longer having to worry about needle bearings in my oil pan when the stockers decide to self-destruct.

Did you have to change/modify your valve covers to fit the Crane 1.8 rockers?

no modifications are needed for the 99-up valve covers. the 97-98 need some minor grinding.
