Default where to get custom pushrods?

Ok i measured what pushrods i need by using the comp cams pushrod length tool and came up with 7.343 at zero lash and with .010 of preload for the Comp R lifters my new pushrods should be 7.353. My question is does the pushrod size have to be exact or can I round this off to the nearest thousandth? Because I see that Thunder Racing offers 7.350 chromoly pushrods and it would be alot more convenient than ordering/waiting for some custom pushrods to be made.

If I have to get the exact size, what sponsor can I order some custom sized pushrods from?

I highly doubt .003" would make a difference... just get a set of 7.350's.

Call Jason @ TSP, They carry custom thick wall 5/16" and 3/8" from Trend, the thicker wall resists deflection and will allow you to delay valve bounce/float.
