Default 230 hp bigger rocker arms?

I have a Chris Craft 230 Scorpion Limited. I have a set of World Products torquer heads and a Performer intake. I know the RPM performer would be ideal but this is what I have for now. Would there be a noticable increase from going with 1.6 rockers instead of 1.5's? Don't want to do the cam just yet.
Thanks.

From what I've been reading on other forums I don't think it would be worth it for now.

You may not have enough motor to take advantage of the extra lift. What size motor, carb and cam specs are needed to make a guess that has any value.

Sorry, stock 260hp. It has a cracked head. Runs fine the crack is on the outside between the exhaust ports. These World heads were given to me, so I'll replace them for now and do a rebuild in a few years. The motor has 500 hrs on it.
Thanks.

I would get some Vortec heads. skip the rockers because you wont want them when you do get a real cam.

Roller rockers would be better than 1.6's, because you can use them down the road

The world products Torquers are what I run on a 406 i'm building third go around they work good with gasket match and pocket port, and have pretty thick deck surfaces, also raised valve cover rails. I run roller rockers with standard ht covers no issues, also have induction hardened seats, just my 2cts
