Default Pushrods?? 1,000hp

Which Are the best pushrods for turbo build up to 1,000 hp? I have prc ls6 heads. I'm not sure if 3/8 rods will work. What are the best. No budget.

You can get some Manton 11/32" IIRC they have like .105" or .110" wall thickness

HP has little to do with pushrods. Now if you shared some vaguely pertinent details like cam, springs, rpm that would be a lot more helpful than a HP goal.

That said it would be hard to go wrong with a nice Manton piece, but the fact you posted a HP goal and NOTHING pertinent to the question is concerning.

First of all I am not an idiot and yes I know hp doesn't really effect which pushrod. I posted this in a mobile device and didn't know the cam specs at the time. Here is my build thread
https://ls1tech.com/forums/forced-induction/1744335-5-3-l33-huron-speed-turbo-build-thread-3.html#post18623031

Cam specs 217/225 .638/.621 114+4
Prc dual valve springs

Max rpm 6500-7000

I agree 100% with this guy. At the intended RPM I see no need to go crazy with double taper this and that when the aforementioned PR will be more than adequate.
