Default 231/237 + milled afr's= what length pushrods?

like it says, My friend has me set up w 7.35's and shims. The wipe pattern came out looking good, right in the center. But my car is chattery as hell, and we checked the preload etc and are happy with the way it sits.

So i know a big cam will be noisier, do i have to spend $500 for better rockers to quiet it? will the 7.4's help too??

thanks

I replied to the other thread. Shorter pushrods and a .060" shim seems like a backwards way to accomplish your goals. Pull out the shims and you should be good to go.
