Default El Toro cam

I'm going to be ordering a cam for my swap soon and on TSP's website it lists LSA and ICL...I've heard that the El Toro is on a 111LSA and 109ICL? Shooting for 111+2 here.
Also, has anyone had experience running 7.425" pushrods with LS7 lifters? I read that their cup is a little taller .03 or something. I will be measuring regardless but I'd rather find I order the right ones the first time so I don't have to send parts back.

Going with stock 243 heads and the El Toro, hope to make some good power.
-98 Formula M6 full boltons for right now. (simple induction/exhaust modifications after spring break)

Send Predator-Z a pm, it's his cam design he can hook you up with the exact specs for the cam based on what you have done to the car.

Tried sending him a PM, said that he's chosen to not receive PM's...Pretty sure I read 111LSA with 109ICL but I want to make sure.

The only way you will find out what pushrods you need is to measure first. Don't just assume because someone else runs it that its what your motor needs to.
