I am installing some ported stock ET7E's on my 5.0 which have been shaved .030. I just ordered some Omega 1.6 roller rockers as well and a set of springs to go with my Trick Flow Stage 1 cam.

My question is, do I need to shim the rockers since the heads have been shaved? If so, where do I get the shims?

Also, is there anything else I need to do other than check my piston to valve clearance that I may be unaware of?

Thanks.
