If you use your factory rollers, you have to use a small base circle cam, which leaves quite a bit of power on the table. Your best bet is honestly to either find a roller block, or run the link bar lifters, as expensive as they are.
 
my opinion: make life simple and run the expensive lifters if you don't want to get another roller block. I would consider the roller block first though.
