I think it depends on mods or stock.

Most LS7s after early 2007 get along fine with the stockers. Guys with high lift cams and big valve springs, another story.

I don't know the exact amount of travel they have but I've heard of guys making over 900 HP with the stock rockers and trunnion kit. Guessing you'll be just fine.

Good luck
