Spring Pressure, Rockers?
I'm going to be using a 214/222 cam with .488/.509 lift at the valve. The crane cam recommended spring is 115lbs closed load and 311lbs open load. Do you guys think this is too much for a stock rocker? I plan on pinning the studs also. Just not sure if I could trust a stock rocker with this setup or if any stamped rocker would be sufficient. Help me out with some input on this, thanks.

I wouldn't "trust" a factory rubber rocker in a factory application let alone any forms of aftermarket. If a budget is of concern, Comp Magnum roller tip rockers are about the best out there.

Thanks for the input Stekman, I kinda figured I would go for the Magnums, but I have to try to scrounge up some money for them.
