There are a lot of variables to push rod length. 7.5" has been used a lot with TFS 215's. But cam base circle, head milling, lifters, gasket thickness, and rocker arms can all affect length. It is best to measure for sure.

Predator you need any help getting some sponsors? Maybe I can hook you up. LOL. Just helping out a great shop. Gotta be thankful now that I finally have my car running perfect. I owe it all to the guys at Vengeance Racing, so hate if you want.

Doug don't get so testy. We just like fuqqin with you about your post whoring 
Ron will say "7.5 is close", but he won't say it's exact all the time. No experienced shop will tell you that. I've done 5 sets of trick flows this year, and had to use a different pushrod length every time. However, they were all milled more than .005 so I'd wager to say 7.5 should be pretty damn close for Abdullah's application.

It is not a matter of my happiness, it is a matter of doing it right. He talked about p-rod length, but you do not take into account what lifter he is running, or the exact mill. So how can you be sure?
Just relax Doug, I would be happy too with a good combo like yours and I am not here to criticise your combo or the way you went about it. That is your business.
I just find it funny how first it was LGM and now VR
But all is good! That trip to GA down 75 south must have been nice
I used to take that route on Spring brake to Daytona, even outran a GA Copper with my 84 TA (383 stroker) 5 miles from FL State line. What a roush.
Got pulled over in FL but they could not do anything as I had broken no laws in that state.
Not to mention I had to take a long detour to avoid GA on the way back.
Ahh, the good ole days

i have the compcams pushrod length checker tool though, any one can tell me how exactly to use it?
btw, if i use GM LS7 lifters will the pushrod length needed be different?
thanks.
