I will leave it alone. The logical thing to do is get bigger boat with more horsepower mine is just fine I just figured there would be more power with the extra things added to the engine. One last dumb Question how reliable do you think my engine is with the changes.

Probably more reliable. Roller rockers free up HP and cut down on friction. All you have done is let the engine run more easily, as opposed to forcing more power into it via s/charger etc. I know the old adage goes that if you are making more power you are stressing the motor more, but I disagree in your circumstance. What drive ratio are you running? If you are running a 1.50, you should try a labbed (to 27p) 26p bravo 1 RH. I get the same #'s as you and I bet you are pulling more hp and I know more RPM's.
