Question Ls6?

Anyone know the stock pushrod length of the LS6 with the stock cam? I'm interested in swapping LS6 cam into my ls1 and I've heard that the LS6 cam requires shorter pushrods due to the base circle being different. Any help is greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.

I thought the LS6 pushrods were 7.350 and LS1 were 7.400.

THe LS6 cams have a smaller base circle (something like .50 I believe but been a few years ago since I compared measured them) and if you done the math a 7.425 pushrod would be about what it would come out to, but the 7.40 will be a little looser and the best choice in my opinion but will perform best (loose is fast) and if you ever upgrade from that cam you wont have to buy another set of pushrods. I put the 7.45 in my car first and then bought the 7.40 and car dyno a little more but I never got to run the 7.425 pushrods, gained either 1 or 2 mph at teh 1/4 mile track in the traps and went a tenth and a half faster with 7.40 pushrods. This is my personal experience before I blew the motor up afterwards on Nitrous (kit stuck) trying for 10 second pass LOL and bought a LS6 Long Block.
