You should be more concerned with the spring pressure.
But I think you should still be ok unless you want to rev to the moon.

I am using the HD stamped rockers (purchased around 2006) on Edelbrock heads/springs, with a .501 lift, 245 duration cam (Isky) and haven't had any problems, though I haven't put lots of miles on it.
When I was deciding which rockers to use, I remember seeing an online article by a mopar magazine, they had used I think one of the Comp Cams hi lift cams and used stamped rockers. There was a comment that they are plenty strong, or something along those lines. Anyways, no problems here.

I ran the same cam with HD rockers and it kept spitting push rods. The ramps are very aggressive on that cam. I even tried SmithBros for a perfect fit and had the same problem. Changed to adjustable rockers and solved the problem. Lucky no damage.I ran cams with more lift...old style, and had no problems.

Summit has the push rods for like 30 bucks.My kid has them in his 62 413.Just put new TRW rocker on last year when we put my 516s with the heavier Comp springs on.He had been running the stock 62 rockers with the Hughes cam with my old Isky springs for 8 years with no problems.The stock Eddy springs arent very stout anyway.Rocky
