Stock rockers are 1.6:1 so installing 1.9:1 rockers will open the valves further and a little bit longer. This allows more air to move threw with less effort. Stock valve springs are 60#, so installing 90# or 105# springs allow the valves to close faster, this is needed when running at higher RPMs such as 6000 rpm shift points. With stock springs you risk valve float.

Rockers are one of the easiest things to change, springs are a bit more involved. Here'* a write up.
