Default Texas Speed Custom Pushrods...

Just recieved my custom pushrods from texas speed, came out very nice...
Went from:
4130 CM - 5/16", .080 wall - 7.850
To
4130 CM - 3/8" - .135 wall - 7.850
I don't think these are going to deflect .

I think the final bill after the lathe/machine work was ~$200.

I believe they are not shelf pistons, they start as 3/8" round 4130 and the ends are machined to order.

Phil is this for the ETP headed car? Odd length, so I am figuring its for the ETP Solid Roller setup? I have been thinking about getting the larger dia/thicker walled myself..only 8.100" length. Seem much easier to flex these long bastards ya know.
