Default Do I need different pushrods???

How much can a set of stock 317 heads be milled before the pushrods need to be shortened??? Would the length of the pushrods (or lifter preload) have any effect on HP/Trq???
I would like to boost my (mild cammed) LQ9s compression.

You should always measure after milling the heads. You may not lose any HP but your valvetrain may self destruct itself in a short amount of time.
