Which ones did you want? The upgraded ones with the comp trunions or the yella terras? I'm posting live from my garage (have a computer out here lol) and hopped on to look up some torque specs.

Sorry for slight hijack op
I probably should have worded my post differently.

Anything above a 220 duration with .550+ lift is going to require a different pushrod length. As the cam lobes get larger, the base circle has to shrink so it will pass the cam bearings.

7.4" pushrods are not the correct length for any of today's popular camshafts on a stock headed car.

When you get the new upgraded rockers you can easily see why they are a huge improvement over stock. Much, much beefier trunion. POlus mine came with ARP rocker bolts Money well spent man!

Oh ya , even an 2001 LS6 or an LS2 cam has smaller base circles than a LS1 or a LM7 I forget exactly how much but I think it's not quite enough to require different p-rods depending ,,,,,,that's the thing is every engine is a little different in fact every p-rod in thge same engine with some miles is a little different from each other so measure .
