pushrod ?????
pushrod ????? im puttin a cam in my vette, the specs are, 224/228 .535 .535 112. im going to use the 04 yellow springs. my ?? is, on pushrods, would i need to get some harden ones? i have some that came out of my 2001 Z28 w/ 50k on them that i was gona swap out considering my vette has little over 100k on it. i dont care to spend the $100 on pushrods if needed, but money saved is always nice. i figured this cam isnt much bigger then the 04 Z06 cam, and im useing stock springs, and they use stock type pushrods. as far as i know anyways?

Here's my two cents. Can the yellow springs and pick up some PAC 12915's which are slightly stiffer. The yellow springs have failed on cars more times then I can count. Do a search (google) and you will see the failures show up on several forums.
As for pushrods, I would go with new ones myself.

Definitely go with chromoly pushrods. With more aggressive ramp rates, it is always a good idea. Also, like vettenuts mentioned, that cam is going to be a pretty good workout on those springs. I would definitely recommend going to a better spring. PAC 1218 or Comp 918 would work well. We have all of them on the shelf.
