Default Best PUSHRODS?

What are the best LS1 pushrods for a high revving H/C 346? Are they all really the same

manton suggest using larger double butted / taper pushrods. I dont think we can fit larger pushrods in our cars, and whats more, at what opoint does the added weight become more of a hindrance than valvetrain stability. Normal hardened pushrods cant deflect all that much, can they?

Im having good results with my trickflow PRs
