im thinking of putting 2002 ls6 243 heads with duel valvesprings and titanium retainers and a 2002 ls6 cam in my 2000 T.A. i was wondering wether i would need to use the 7.450 pushrods or should i use the 7.400 pushrods, or if anyone knows of a better lenght to use please post up. Help a guy out

Thanks
Eric

that'll depend on a few things...

first...are you milling the heads?

no...completly stock 2002 ls6 heads with 16,000 miles on them besides the springs and retainers

You can use 7.425 or 7.450 for less noise. 7.400 has been done before but with those heavy duals, it will be noisier.
I would use 7.425s

hey sorry to hijack.. im running 243s with dual springs & 7.400 hardened push rods. my cam is a TSP T2 232/234 .595/.598 112.. ive been noticing more valvetrain noise, but so far the motor has been running stronger then ever. is there going to be a difference in running a longer push rod like a 7.425-50??

Im trying to keep the car as quiet as possible being that it's a going to be a sleeper project how much noiser do you think it would be with a 7.425 opposed to the 7.450? and what would be the advantage of going with the 7.425 over the 7.450?
