Default Question about rocker arms and valve springs

I plan to keep stock internals so with that being said should I upgrade my valve train? Is it worth the bang for the buck? I don't know that I'll gain anything so that's why I ask. Anyone have any input? Thanks!

Given that you are NOT changing\modifying anything else... just live it factory... No HP gain to be had...

02 and 03 have had some issues. best to replace the springs on those year models. fairly cheap to do, but if the spring breaks it could waste your engine. one of those better safe than sorry issues. I speak from experience. I broke a spring in sept. 2010, 39,000 miles on motor. I am the orignal owner.

It broke idleing at a stop light, so I got lucky and didn't trash the piston or block.
