Long story short, I put a ls6 cam in my 02 Z/28. Took out the t-rex. I ran a 7.4 pushrod and had very little sewing machine noise. I now have 7.425 with the ls6 cam, and its sewing up a storm. To long or short of a pushrod? Any suggestions? I have searched and can't come up with anything. The heads have never been off the car. Thanks.

Aren't the stock pushrods around 7.38? And isn't the LS6 cam .050 smaller than a stock LS1? That would mean I need a .025 longer than stock push rod since you divide the base circle by 2? Or am I way off?
