Don't bother. The stock ones break at anything over .500 lift. 
Get the Comp Magnums minimum.
We stock the Comp 1431 rail type Magnums.------------------

The only thing I've rad against high lift with those rockers.You have to watch and make sure the slots are wide enough for the extra movement.Ok I didn't see Ales's post before I posted mine.
So now I'll change mine to read,
Please see the above post.  ------------------

Everything I've read indicates rail type rockers are NOT recommended for solid lifter cams. Lash adjustment would be a b*tch!  You might want to look into either a hydraulic cam, or swap the heads for some that are set up for guide plates (and standard non-rail rockers). Good Luck! ------------------

Yes, you would need some of those very skinny feeler guages.
