Trick Flow pushrods and Patriot Gold Extreme Valve springs....Good? Patrick G spec'd me a cam for my LS3 head LQ9. He recommended 7.400" push rods and TEA .660" lift valve springs or equivalent.
I don't see a .660" spring on TEA's site. I found the Patriot's on Jegs. Will these work?
Also, I notice the Trick Flow push rods are a good bit cheaper than say Comp's. Will they work ok or do I need to look farther?

TEA= total engine air flow
7.400 should be fine for your application if ALL is stock besides just the cam. 5/16", .080 wall 1pc. c/m pushrod should be fine.
