Rocker Arms

you should just have to torque the rockers down. no adjustment i belive, let us know if you can feel the performance gain. i too would swwap to some yellow ls6 springs tho.

I say yellow springs too. I would never change anything that can effect the valvetrain without checking the pushrods. It is simple, and you know for sure it is done right. Do you have adjustable rockers?
#14
alrighty i will. and what is the torque on the rockers? when i check pushrod length will i have to wait a couple days on the pushrods to come in or what? does anyone have the pushrod length that ill need on this already?

Torque the rockers to 22 lb/ft, stock pr's are 7.38, closest hardened equivalents are 7.4, you can check them as you do the install. Use a felt tipped marker to check the swipe pattern The SLP rockers should be direct bolt-in's, but I don't have personal experience with them.

Another thing to check is clearance between the rockers and valve covers and make sure that there is no contact there

That's the pattern that the tip of the rocker makes on top of the valve stem, you want it to be centered on the valve, not towards the edges or damage could occur. You color the tops of the valve stems with a felt tip marker, bolt the rockers down, turn the engine over by hand, unbolt the rockers and see where they left their mark.

I found this pic on a mustang forum, but it represents what I'm talking about:
