    i think your going at it the wrong way the rockers are not going to help the lifters are to heavy that is it .spending money on the rocker s is no going to help the weight of the lifter you can buy a rev kit for hyd roller cam from isky this help keep the lifter on the cam with out added lbs on the pushrod it puts it on the body of the lifter the shafts may be a better way to go do not think whey will help . you do not need them for this type of build your wasting money put a revkit in it and it will do what you want .there is no need to run the poly-locks just buy new rocker nuts they should work just fine with the rocker you have or buy two set of thick valve cover gaskets and run then two a side on the valve covers i used studs on the stock covers to help keep the gaskets from moving i have run over 600 lift this way with stock covers and poly-locks. if you go tapper pushrods shaft rocker titanium valves this would help and you would still need the rev kit ? lifters are still way heavy
