Default GT40P Heads, TFS1 Cam, stock 1.6 Rockers?

Can I run STOCK rockers on my GT40P heads, TFS1 cam (I will have the TF spring kit on the heads) and the stock rockers? I dont want to have to fork over another $120 for 1.6 RR's so if I can use the stockers that would be great.

you'll have to check and see if the pedastal/fulcrum interferes with the retainer, you may have to clearance for such, personally I wouldn't waste time with stock rockers, grab a set of roller rockers

If they work im going to run them, its $$ saved. There have been posts showing (not only on 5.0' but on other cars) that roller rockers offer NO performance gain.
