Default What length pushrods?

I am getting a set of AFR 205's milled .020 and a TSP 224/228 .581/.588 112LSA + 2 cam to put into my 99 LS1. I am also using Harlan Sharp 1.7 rockers, new Comp 850's, and stock .052 compressed head gaskets. I understand Comp cuts the LS1 cam base circle .030" smaller than stock. Given that info, I would would surmise that the ideal pushrod length would be 7.365". I need some opinions on using a 7.350 hardened pushrod in this case. The reason I am asking is after I do the h/c swap I can't leave the car where it will be until new custom length pushrods can be cut and sent and I will be doing this from Saturday morning and hopefully finishing up Sunday eve.

Comp has a 7.375" pushrod part number 7795-16, the extra .010" will be fine.That's what I would use.
