Do I need new pushrods? I'm currently running ARE's stage two heads/cam and I'm considering swapping for the TSP 231/237 cam. I've got hardened pushrods and springs good up to .650. Will I need to replace the pushrods? My current cam is a 226/226 114 and I don't remember the lift specs, neither does the shop that installed it over a year ago. If I got new pushrods what length should I get?

Are your heads milled? You shouldn't need new pushrods since you already have pushrods. Just pull them when you do the swap to make sure they are still straight and good to go(roll them on a perfectly flat surface). Generally, if your heads are milled .030 or more, then you run a 7.350 pushrod length. If they aren't milled, you run 7.400.
