Default pushrods

you will need the longer 7.4 pushrods to work with the z06 cam.

Bought z06 cam off ebay and I am ordering valve springs ( deffinately looking for a recommendation on these, and I am not working on the largest budget )
Using stock pushrods and lifters. Bought 08 h3 pan ( GM took forever to get it to me though) notched frame for a/c. I am in the process of porting heads.
Still not sure about injectors, anyone think the stock truck injectors will keep up based on these mods? Or should I do it up ***** with some bigger ones?

Also thinking about gear to gear set up or double roller. My stocker looked a little out of spec ( visually but maybe it was really fine but why not upgrade now then later. Ill try to post some pic soon the truck it in nice condition with 22's and all shaven paint job.

From what I've have read the 7.4's are fine. Now I am running a 598 lift and after I checked it, my 7.4 will be the right length. So I plan on ordering some chromoly ones before I crank it.
