Looking at a set of gt40p's with 3/8 hole for screw in studs. Also machined for guide plates. What kind of rockers do I have to use? Can I still run them on my motor? What does it all mean?!

I was told with guideplates and rollertip rockers it was good for 10-15hp.

Ford Racing Roller Rockers These would work fine. My guide plates came with my heads(Twisted Wedge), so I don't know where to get them.

Cool! You think I could go for a tfs stage1 cam? Would I be better off with 1.6 or 1.7 rockers?

I think the TFS stage 1 cam is a good cam for the GT-40P heads. I would use 1.6 RR's. If you don't have guideplates already, I would get comp cams ones. If it was machined right, you should be able to use any conventional rocker/guideplate/pushrod setup.
