Default Rocker recommendations for stock LS3
Been doing some research on the available rockers for the C6 LS3. What do you guys recommend for a car with the stock cam in it? I read a thread on ls1tech where Pat G picked up 10/10 on a stock set up with Yellaterra rockers but I see people are having problems with them failing...

I have a stroked LS3 (500+ at the wheels), forged bottom end, CNC heads with a Comp 469 cam and I have stock rockers with Comp trunnions.

If you really want expensive rockers, buy them. I have a bunch of part I bought that bring no value, but I wanted them and they make me happy.

Based on Pat Gs thread, I think picking up 10/10 with a nice smooth curve is worth it.
