Default rocker arm advice

I need lots of advice.I have a 94 GT and I'm having a set of Trick flow Twisted wedge heads installed. I figured I would go ahead and have a new set of rockers installed. Trick flow makes a set with a 1.6 ratio. Will i need to modify anything for the rockers ? Will the oil rods need to be longer or shorter or will the old ones work? Will the valve covers need modifing . Will this combo kill horse power to my pony? It has a stock cam and I don't want to change it rightnow. And last but not least should I get the heads with machined grooves for fel-pro loc-wire gaskets.

Thanks ! I like the advice and the price but I'm buying it peace by peace cause I won't have all the money at once and it might get spent on junk if I don't. Pluse I don't have that much cash.
