We've had good sucess with the standard small block chevy rocker arm set-up up to and around 7,200 to 7,400 rpm with our V-6. It is identical to the standard small block chevy set-up with a 1.94" intake valve. The only issue we've had was one of the OEM rocker studs that was pinned broke when we first built it in the mid 90's. We then installed the ARP studs and have not had any issues since (knock on wood).
The issues are various: fulcrum area wear, rocker arm stud breakage, piercing of the rocker arm push rod cup.

Chris, how much spring pressure are you runing?
