Default Another cam question? about pushrods
I have a lq4 and am buying a 210/218 w/112 lobe sep. I know I need at least ls6 springs but what about pushrods. And does anyone know a decent tuner around KY.

Its always a good idea to get hardened pushrods when doing a cam swap, Just get a nelson tune; he will probably beat any tuner in KY.

BTW i believe you need 7.4" pushrods, someone correct me if i am wrong.

ive heard either 7.4 or 7.425. 7.425 helps get rid of some valvetrain noise
