Default Futural f13 and pushrods

So I'm going to be purchasing a f13 230/232 .595"/.585" 114*, going in cam only on 241 heads.

I have no idea what size pushrods to get and read numerous threads about checking but I kinda need to have all my parts for the install ready being that I'm in a daily driver.

Anyone help me out please?

It would be best to measure, but since you need to complete quickly you could also measure then install the stock pushrods. While the stockers are in place waiting on the new pushrods, just keep the RPM down and don't get on it.

you should measure lol but i did the calculations and 7.4 will work but 7.425 gave me a better preload and its what allan recommended for a slightly quieter valvetrain. I run them and its nice and quiet

Both 7.4 or 7.425 will work with stock lifters.

This is mine. Overall I love the cam mpg didnt take a crap, it makes awesome useable power and i only get a SLIGHT amount of surge under 1300 rpm but you really have to feel for it. No larger cam will drive exactly as stock but with a good tune you can get close.

Nope it was an m6 with a 10 bolt, ls6 crate, ls6 intake and ported throttle body. I have a couple videos of it running but they're on my phone, I could send them to you if you really wanted.

I found almost no soundclips of the f13 on a 114 that were decent which is why I uploaded mine. Any reason you're going with the 114 I like mine but I wonder how the 112 would have been.

I'd go with the 112 LSA. The tighter LSA will give you more peak power, but with a smaller RPM range. Basically the power curve is thinner, but peaks higher. Also the 112 LSA sounds much more choppy, which I'm a big fan of.
