Default What size pushrods did you use with your tsp cam with stock heads?

Thought it would be easier for people to decide what pushrods to order if we could see what most everyone is running with there tsp cam. Also if you want to say why you went with the pushrods you did that would help. So what pushrods did you use on your cam swap with stock heads/head gaskets?

I used the 7.4 pushrods with my 228R cam and it worked great. Here's the page from the service manual on rocker arm torque if you need it.

I know what you are doing here. You figure by using a poll it will help you with the pushrod length decision by giving you power by numbers (of responses that is). Some may agree that this poll of yours will work. I say ask TSP and/or measure for pushrod length yourself.
