i don't want to sound like a complete dimwit, but do i NEED hardened pushrods to complement my lingenfelter camshaft??? Camshaft specifications: 207/220 573/.580 w 1.7 rocker 118.5 CL.

thanks for the help y'all!!

Hardened pushrods are for use with roller rockers and guideplates. You use hardened pushrods with those because they will rub against the guideplates when they deflect to one side or the other. Regular pushrods will wear out really quick as you can imagine.

DO NOT get hardened push rods with stock springs. With stock springs when you over rev it the push rods bend. IF you over rev it with hardened push rods you WILL bend valves.
LS1's don't have guide plates
