Help checking pushrod length!

Having a little trouble checking my pushrod length.

Have a little more valve-train noise than seems normal after a head/cam swap. Noise gets worse as car warms up.

Specs:
TSP 5.3L Stage 2.5 Heads
TSP Torquer 2 cam on 112LSA
Cometic 0.040" Headgasket
LS7 Lifters
TSP 7.40" pushrods

Anyone local in the Tampa Bay Area willing to help me verify my pushrod length? I have a Trick Flow Adjustable Pushrod Length Checker already.

You may need to get the 7.425 with that cam since the base circle of the cam is a lot smaller due to the lift and duration.

Yeah, typically that'd be right, but he's running a shorter gasket, and it seems guys are saying the cup sits .050" higher in the LS7 lifter than the LS1. So I'd definately check
