Default Pushrod length question on 6.0l build

Ordering parts for the 6.0l and wanting to know what length comp pushrods to get. I am down to 4 camshafts and want to know each pushrod I would use with each cam.

TR 220 -

Thunder Racing Custom Camshaft
"TR 220-112" - 220/220 .551/.551 112 LSA

TR 224 -

Thunder Racing Custom Camshaft
"TR 224-112" - 224/224 .563/.563 112 LSA

Trickflow Stage 1 -

My wife I think ordered me the comp 7.4" pushrods for christmas so I'm hoping this will work with all these camshafts or at least a couple of them as I am still doing research on my cam. Some other information you need to know is that this is a LQ4, but I'm using brand new LS6 243 casting heads NOT MILLED and .041 cometic head gaskets. That will get me around 10.9:1 so I can have a iron blocked LS2. Using the slightly thinner head gasket should allow me to use the 7.4" rods right? Thanks for any input in advance.

By the way I'm leaning the most towards the trickflow stage 2 cam so if you don't have time to look at all 4 cams, please look at that one.

Have the heads been milled or the block decked? There's some missing info there.

I see that they are not factory heads ... are they the same depth as the factory heads?

You might try calling TrickFlow and asking them. They may also ask you the base circle on the cam.

The heads are brand new 243 LS2 heads. No milling, and I'm going to use a .041 head gasket which I think stock is .054

The 7.400 should be fine. Unless the base circle of the cam you choose is different then most.
