Pushrod length question

I am planning on running a 224/224 .581/.581 114 with comp 518s and everything else internally stock. I have a set of 7.400 TR hardened PRs will these work or will I need a shorter PR to compensate for the smallerbase cirlce? If so, does anyone want to buy a set of stock sized haredened prs new in bag? lol, well not really

Stock length pushrods should work just fine. A smaller base circle would mean you want longer pushrods.

yeah you're right (I shouldn't be allowed to type after midnight), so do i need longer PRs or will the stock length be ok (I know stock isn't exactly 7.400) but I've heard that shorter than ideal pushrods create excess noise and wear in the valvetrain. valvetrain gurus your input would be appretiated!
