upraded pushrods I did some research and found chromemoly pushrods. My question is are these push rods hydrualic or do I have to switch everything to solid setup?

Yup, just better material and thicker walls to make them stiffer. They will drop right in, pushrods are the very first thing I swap in every motor I work on. The stock pushrods bend too easily.
Comp also makes a .105" wall version too, I run the .105" wall myself. The ones you linked to are .080" wall

sweet, I wanted to make sure since the actual text did not specify. I will upgrade them since everything else but rockers is upgraded.
On that point do rocker upgrades depend specifically on the cam and springs you are running? I do not have a cam yet but am running the 26921 dual comp springs.

For GM style heads, the stock rockers are usually the best. Look up the trunion upgrade for them if you are going to rev over 6400-6500rpm for stability and safety.
Stay away from harland sharps. The yella terra ultralights are real good but have recently had a production fault causing a few of them to break.
