What is the lift on your cam? You can use Harland Sharps, Crane, or Jesels as a replacement. Im don't think there is anything to worry about. The stock rockers are lighter on the nose, helping to prevent valve float. There are alot of people using them without a problem, I spent the money and really didn't need to.

I did a little more research and discovered that the stock rockers are investment cast steel. Phew all that worry for nothing!
Here's the link to the manufacturer for whatever it's worth
