Default Turbo cam/pushrod help!

Need some help. What size of pushrod for a stock ls1 running 317 heads, ls9 head gaskets with a 02 Zo6 cam with patriot extreme springs? I see a split some running 7.400" and some running 7.425". Any help is appreciated!

Depends on the base circle of the cam and the lifters being used. There isn't enough information here for us to guess. Measure the pre-load with a set of standard 7.400's and then you'll know.

I think i've read somewhere that the base circle is .050 smaller.
