Default Stock Pushrods in LQ4

Anyone have success running stock pushrods to 6500 rpm with PAC-1218 springs and 0.575 lift cam?

LPE used to use the stock pushrods with some of their smaller cams and LS6 valve springs as I recall. Personally, I would go with larger OD valve springs with any aftermarket setup.

Sounds kinda risky...

Good push rods are only $100 or so. Try Texas Speed or ws6store.

You have first hand experience with risk? If I needed a different length for sure. I do stuff on the cheap and don't just automatically change stuff just because it is better unless it is really needed or sfi mandated.

Sometimes doing stuff on the cheap can get real expensive...lol. I see your signature has blown setups. Is the motor you a asking about turbo'ed? For a power added setup I wouldn't hesitate at throwing money at a set of dual springs and pushrods spec'ed by the experts for my application. But that's just me
