Need opinion...1.6 rocker swap gain on stock L69 motor

Finally, after going 7 months of non-3rdgen owning despair, I just bought an '83Z w/ L69. I already have a full exhaust setup for it, and want to add some mods. What do you think I would gain off stock engine (maybe switch to a better intake) w/ stamped, non-roller 1.6:1 rockers? Would they be worth the $50?

I also have a B&M street/strip 700R4 and 2000rpm converter to install in her. Any opinions on ET's?

The L69 in the early year Camaros is a great
combination of parts. Gut the cat(which is very easy because of bolts), tweek the secondary air valve(see tech articles) and you have a 14 sec car. Look at my signature for additional ideas and potential ET....
