Wish I could help...I'm having my 317's milled .030 when I put my LQ9 together, and I bought a pushrod length checker, it was $13 at the time, I think that they're $18 now. If you're in Jersey I'll lend it to you 
What lifters are you using, that makes a difference too...the new LS7 lifters have a taller cup then the original GENIII lifters...

Isn't the ls7 lifters shorter then the ls1 style?? I think so.. I would run the 7.35's in there.. Or get a PR checker... It is good to be dead nuts on, but the hydraulic lifter will surely take up a few thousandths in..
Also with a .060 preload
