I saw a facebook post where a friend put on the scorpion 1.8 rocker arms up graded from the stock 1.7 RA. What is this doing for him and with a more aggressive cam is it smart for me to do this or just stay with the 1.7 RAs?

No, you should not go to 1.8s with an upgraded cam. You may run into piston/valve clearance issue. If the cam was built with 1.7s in the equation, you should stay with 1.7s. Putting 1.8s on a stock cam, give the impression of more lift.
