XE 224/230 - What Springs/Rockers/ETC

Hello I was just wondering what you guys would recommend as far as Springs/Retainers/Rockers to go with the XE 224/230??? Would it work fine with stock rockers??

I'm sure it'd work, but you'd probably do better by upgrading the entire valvetrain at once. www.cmotorsports.com has a spring kit (retainers and locks come with them): EX-612-16, it's about $110. For the rockers, I went with the Comp non-self aligning Pro-Mags. Very good rocker, but not the cheapest, lots of folks run the Crane golds. They're a little more wallet friendly I believe. You may want to pick up some new push rods as well. I just went with the Comp hardened ones, about $35 or so. They've been doing just fine. Depending on your mileage/wear and tear, you may want to look into some new lifters as well. I just used the Crane's because the "R" lifters from Comp were on hiatus at the time I did my cam swap.
