What is recomended with new set of rockers?
3800 Performance has a set of rockers from 350$ I believe. Can these work with my stock pushrods and springs, or should they be complimented with the new stuff also?
Pushrods and springs definately wouldn't hurt during a rocker swap, especially since you already have most of the work done when you get the rockers off. However, if you don't plan on revving much over 5800-6000rpms, it really isn't necessary IMO. I have heard a few horror stories about stock springs breaking with 1.9 rockers, but not too many. If it were me and I wasn't trying to rev very high I would go with rockers and INTENSE OR pushrods and call it good.

Hmm. $350. Looks like I might have to pick up some quick cash jobs. I really want to do rockers, pushrods, springs, and lifters, but I wanted to do it all at once, but couldn't make myself spend $500 I'd heard before for new rockers.

well, you are gonna have it all apart anyways, so you oughta take a look at them to make sure they are causing the problems. Check what the vendors' return policies are.
