Pushrod Question
 
I'm gonna be swapping out my 216/220 cam for a TSP 224/224 or 224/228 wit .600 lift. I currently am using the stock length of 7.400" pushrods. I know the TSP 224 cam is pretty popular here. Any of you guys running the 224s using a different rod length? I know the correct way is to use a pushrod length checker but as this is my DD i dont want it to be down with measuring for length and ordering and waiting for rods to come. the ratio will still be 1.7. Thx in advance.

Measure for it. It's $20 for the checker.

However,

When I had my Comp LSR265 cam, it took a 7.450 rod on stock heads. YMMV of course.

Ya measuring is the best way for sure. Just seeing if anyone has those same cams to see what their measurements came out to. Just don't want my truck to be down for a week is all.

Why are you swapping out the 216/220 seems like it would be torquey and fun to drive

Cuz this will eventually have a whipple on it.

Just get the blower. Run your current cam. If you are set on the 243s, swap them out after the blower. That way you won't need to mill the shit out of them.
