yeah i already had non self aligning rockers - I just wasn't sure if you had to worry about the wear on that end. They are 1.5 rockers. I am not planing on changing to roller tip lifters or anything because they are quite a bit more expensive. I am pretty sure they are just standard rockers in there now - i'm actually a little fuzzy on what I bought way back then.
As for the machining - that's the whole point I'm trying to avoid doing any more. These beehive springs from comp camps are supposed to allow for more lift, but I hear that I'll need to shim them to get the right pressure. It's 186$ for the springs, another 90 or so for the keeprs and retainers. I was thinking about the comp cams XE274 cam, which seems to net about 400hp in this setup with my intake/heads. I'd be open to more suggestions - but I really dont want to do any machining =) I already have done enough to these heads that I probably could've bought a nice set already done up for wahtever cam, haha
