Default Push Rod length?

On my LS1 I just installed a set of milled 243's heads .012 for a 62cc camber with a .040 head gasket. Thats .024 off the standard set up, from what I understand the stock lifter has .080 of adjustment travel? Will I be safe to run my 7.40 push rods without issue? I have the TR230 cam in the motor, has anyone experience any issues running a set up like this? I know to be sure I should just get a rod checker and deal with it but wanted some imput from anyone with experience with this.
I appreciate the help as always,
Bill

The math says 7.375. Check it though.

Spoke with both Patriot and Thunder Racing today, which were very helpful and advised I should be fine with the 7.4's rods with the .024 difference but should always confirm with the proper test. Great customer support thanks, engine sounds and runs good
