Can I use Standerd Roller Rockers?

I was wondering..If I dont have the supports in the center of my valve cover do I still need the narrow body rocker arms? Or can I use standerd RR?

Thanks
Matt

You don't have to remove the supports altogether, this will probably cause a leaking problem. I just trimmed one side of the support to fit the comp pro magnum rocker.

They all say that because they all hit the supports. They'll fit fine.

I'm running the standard wide crane roller rockers, along with guide plates, on my car with stock LT-1 heads and valve covers. My valve covers do have the center supports removed. No problems so far, but only 100 miles on the motor so far.
