Having a lift that high though is completely useless unless your heads flow up in the .630 range. It's like turning the outside garden hose on past half open, it really doesn't flow anymore. It's a waste of stress on the valvetrain and you may actually lose torque because the flow will become stagnant if the lift capability of the of the valve exceeds what the head can flow. Also for that price it looks like you're gambling with cheap chinese rockers. Personally if you don't have the money in your savings to build another motor I wouldn't chance it. It's been proven time and time again that the stock rockers are the best for 99% of all applications. The ones you're looking at here have just too much weight over the tip for my liking.

IMO, save your money for another mod and stick with the stock rockers.

well.... What you need to do is find out how much you hate your tires. If you want to destroy them even quicker in your 2 useless gears get the rockers.
If you want to hit 3rd and see what she's got... get the trans.

I think with big cams, mid 230's and up, adjustable rocker arms are needed to get the correct lash. And with the correct lash, there is alot less valvetrain noise. And I wouldn't trust cheap chinese rocker arms either. Just my .02
