I think you have to measure to see which rods you need

still measure but i have run your set up before. With stock MLS gasket 7.400- 7.425 PR depending on where you want your preload to be. Off the top of my head i want to say the 7.400 PR was at .060" preload and 7.425 was .025" more than that. The car will run with the the 26lbs injectors but they will be at the end of there duty cycle. 36lbs injectors is what i would put in it

if you are running stock heads and gaskets you can use a 7.4 pushrod and should be around the .075-.080 preload range 42 injectors will be more then big enough a set of 30lb red top svo injectors will be more then enough for you they will be 36lb at ls fuel pressure

I have this exact cam in my 01 SS. Ls1 with bolt ons. TSP recommends 7.400 in. pr's. I'm running 7.450 in. but recently had a lifter **** the bed. I'd stick with the 7.400's.

TSP might have made an educated guess at your combo for 7.400's, but we always recommend measuring before installing any length for any combo!
