Z06 cam push rod question
The base circle of the Z06 cam is supposed to be smaller, so everything being equal how much longer push rod would you need if you had a set of 243's without the special length Z06 valve stems?

they won't work for him, they are the same as what he has stock. The difference is in the cam base circle and the valve stem length, with the same pushrod inbetween.

You really should measure. The base circle of the 02 Z06 cam is .050 smaller so usually you will need to get a rod that is .025 longer than stock (all things being equal you would need a 7.425" p-rod) but again you really should measure. Lots of variables can make a difference.

yes If I install the cam I'll measure I just wanted to know the difference. It's much easier for me to start with a known. So if I started with the stock length keep increasing until it goes past optimum. I just wanted to make sure there was going to be a noticable amount of adjustment.

Measure, and you should never run stock pushrods with a aftermarket cam. I wouldn't even recommend stock pushrods for a stock cam.
