Default What pushrods to use in my turbo 5.3?

Hey guys, I was wondering what pushrods I should run with my turbo 5.3? I have ported 241 heads and a 225/225 .581" .581" 114LSA cam. Can I reuse the stock 5.3 pushrods or should I buy some new ones and if should buy new ones, what length should I get?

Any help will be great!

Thanks

NO dont use stock pushrods...

you need to put some good valvesprings on there with good seat pressure... like prc duals or similar

also you are gonna want hardened pushrods..... if your heads have not been milled (stock deck height) i would guess you need the 7.4" pushrod.... but you should really measure for your push rods with a pushrod length checker!
