Leave the stock length pushrods with new cam?

Im swapping out my tr224 for a 238/242 .600/.612 on a 114+4lsa. Currently im running stock length tr hardened push rods and stock mill TSP LS6 port heads. Am i okay with these push rods?

The base circle of the larger cam will most likely be a little smaller than the new cam, so some loss of lifter preload will occur. Most likely you are already on the low side of lifter preload with the stock length rods and current cam with unmilled heads. I would guess that the next size up may be closer to optimum.
