Default thinking about cam need some help?

i was thinking about throwing in a tfs stage 1 cam in my car along with my cobra intake. i dont have heads yet but they will come soon. my question is what rockers do i need for the stock heads and is there any adjustments on them or can i just bolt them on? would you suggest replacing the lifters of pushrods while its all apart?

cam will work fine....you'll need 1.6 pedestal mount rockers and you will have to check preload....the instructions will usually tell you you should obtain 0 lash and after that 1/4 to 1/2 turn should obtain 22 -25 ft lbs of torque if it takes alot more than that then you'll have to shim the pedestals....from whom ever you buy the rockers download instalation instructions which will be more complete then what I have listed
