Default 6.0 roller rocker ?

ok, my uncle just got a 6.0 HD. he will be using it as a daily driver/ tow vehicle for the weekends. he doesnt want to put a cam in. but he said something about 1.8 or 1.85 rockers?
now my question is, stock 2003 6.0 with 1.8 rockers harland sharps?
what else would we need? would we need different push rods? and what is the equation you use to figure out what the int/exh will be after the 1.8 or 1.85's??
thanks for the help.

just say its .500 lift with 1.7 rockers take .500/1.7=.294(lobe lift) then take .294*1.85=.543 lift..but .500 is not the actual lift of teh 6.0 just using as an example

I have PRW rocker arms, with stage II heads from WCCH. I had tried to install them 5 times with 7.4 harden pushrods. didn't work.OMG.
I spoke to Richard at WCCH and he suggested me that I get little shorter.
(i'm going to get adjustable stud to measure it right.
Dont Use PRW rockers arm. they SUCK!
