Default Pushrod lenght ?

Okay guys. I'm getting a comp cam 212/218 114 LSA LOWLIFT VERSION. Made my mind on getting a set of blue ls6 springs from scoggin dickey, but I'm confused on what pushrods to get. I'm getting them from texas-speed.com. What length and diameter should be ideal for my setup ?
Thanks for any help guys.

Buy the pushrod checker tool and measure for what you need, dont guess.

measure it, the tool is about $20 and takes 15 minutes to check a couple cylinders

however the diameter you need is 5/16"

you get a more accurate reading with a soft spring made for checking pushrod length. i think your stock pushrods would be ok for your setup. just put them back in original spots they came out of.

I prefer to go with 3/8" pushrods if they have them in the length I need, especially with setups with a lot of spring pressure. Larger diameter pushrods are much stiffer.
