i have a 5.3 with 223 225 564 571 114 cam, stock heads and rockers, going to be installing patriot gold dual springs in the morning, i have 7.35 push rods, so my ? is, are they to short and how much hp or any other problems if i run them.

only other option is run stock push rods untill i get new hardend 7.4's

I also shift at 6800 1-2, 2-3 if this matters. thanks.

 

id say that they are too short you really need 7.425 prob

 

Yeah, you don't want that extra slack if they are too short. I run 7.350's because my basecirlce on my cam is smaller. with milled heads that is.

 

ok thanks. i guess i will give them a try untill i get some longer ones, cant take a chance with the stock ones lol
