Default ls6 camshaft with standard valves, correct pushrod length?

ive read the base circle of the ls6 cam is smaller in diameter which gm made up for with longer valve stems but since 243 heads with sodium/hollow valves are hard to find i might have to settle for 243s with standard valves and would like to get the correct length pushrods. i have read .025 longer and ive read .050 longer. i have a brand new set of 7.4 manleys but i could exchange them if need be.

you will need 7.425's if you get lucky and find a set of 243's from a ls6 motor that have the special valves then you can use 7.4. there is actually a set of ls6 heads though for sale in the classifieds right now
