I got Comp Pro Magnum 1.6 ratio, you better check P/V clearance if you use 1.7 ratio

Good rockers are ones that aren't bad...

.510/1.6=0.31875

0.31875*1.7=.541875 lift. This is over the supposed threshold of .544" of lift before contact. You need to clay that motor with 1.7's to make sure they will clear.

Unless the P's are ported for additional airflow at higher lift you may not benefit much from the additional lift you get from 1.7's vs. 1.6's with that cam.
