EPP Blower Cam owners inside!

What length pushrods are you guys running?
Did you measure for them or just go by suggestion?
How is your valvetrain noise?

We have found the standard 7.40 length to work in most of the applications we have done. Bob

thanks Bob. Wondering if anyone else has measured to find or try anything a bit different at all. How is the valvetrain noise with this set-up and 7.4's you guys have noticed?

I use the 7.40 along with comp r lifters. The old comp r lifters lol, the valave train noise is like stock but with the rumble of a cam. I also use the patriot heads, Im sure the heads with the taller deck will require a different push rod. Oh and I use stock rockers lol

with this experience, why do you think it's a touch too much cam? Obviously it has quite a bit of duration for a 346. Do you notice driveability issues or nothing down low and power only up high or what's the deal? Enlighten please as I was about ready to pull the trigger here on it! Thanks in advance!

straight up 7.300's? Seems like a HUGE jump from 7.400's.

I think the 7.3's were to obtain the correct preload on the lifters.

I've got a set of 7.3s if you need them Jonny, but it seems 7.4 is what everyone is using.

7.4's for stock LS1 lifters, 7.3's with LS7 lifters cause the cup on top of the lifter sits higher. And to stay in the desired range of preload that was exactly what I was told. Any body else?

Thanks Jeff, but I think I will just order up some 7.4's and give them a shot. If there is too much noise I will measure and go that route as they are easy enough to change. Thanks though! BTW, do you have a length checking tool?
