I would not go with 1.65 rockers just to get needed open pressure .

The added acceleration rate of a 1.65 rocker may need more spring to control it then the added .040” or so of lift can provide, at least in terms of a intake valve that size.

You may be ok on the exh with a 1.65 and the added pressure, and if so then the question becomes will the added duration and lift on the exh side make you more Torque and HP, or less.

A dyno or a drag test is of course a way to tell unless someone with near the darn same motor combo as you has gone Thru the motions to find out and tell you the results .

Sometimes you can bring a motor up to 5500 rpm out of gear and with a thermal gun shoot each header tube and look for a drop in temp which would mean that the motor does not want higher ratio rockers on the exh side.
