Yes I meant stock rockers, see Charley gets me all twisted up when he starts talking Pontiacs. But I say throw stock rockers in the trash, we finally have a multitude of goodies to choose from now. Lets use em!!!!

So I get the comp 1.5 ratio roller tips because the 1.65 ratio require double gaskets ? And the XR276HR ? and 10-1 compression and I will be happy......

You can choose either .15 ratio or 1.65 stamped steel roller tips rocker arms. NEITHER will hit the valve covers. I would choose 1.65's.
----------
The full Aluminm roller rockers are the one that need 2 gaskets. because the aluminum rocker itself is much bulkier.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I agree with Belair. From talking to SuperStock guys, those Ponchos seem to do things kind of bassackwards of a Chevy.
