How many of you guys are running stock pr's? Anyone see a performance increase going to hardend pushrods? The only benefit I can see is that stiffer push rods will deflect less than stockers, giving you more lift.

Im using stock pushrods with .578" lift cam and 918's. I like the fact that if something goes wrong the pushrods are more likely to bend than the valves.

i know some guys that run them, one says he runs them b/c they are easier to replace than a lifter and he would rather replace the pushrod. I decided to order chromoly push rods for my setup.

Using pushrods as a "fuse" isn't always the best way to go. If you get a set of good springs, a set of hardened pushrods and a quality timing set, bending valves and screwing up the valvetrain becomes very hard to do. Less slop with a good set of components will keep the valvetrain in check and you'll be able to enjoy piece of mind in the meantime. Just my thought.

I've still got the stockers with the R1 cam and dual springs. I'll probably get some cm's but these have held up so far.
