Just gonna pile on and third what's been said. Stock or full roller. Don't bother with the roller tips, they don't get you anything over a stock rocker except additional points of failure.

Don't know if that is completely true, or not. I've had valve tips that were worn down to the point where the rocker was real close to hitting the retainer.

I ASSUME that the roller tips would not wear down the valve tips nearly as quick, assuming the rollers actually roll. The CC roller tip rockers also seem to be made from thicker material than stock rockers. Not sure of this.

But, if you go with new SS valves, I assume it would take a LONG time for a stock rocker to wear down the valve tip.

Even on bracket racing engines, I only had one stock rocker failure. And it may have had 100k or more street miles on it. I always just pulled 'em off old engines I had layin around the shop. And if they looked OK, I'd run 'em.
