Default pushrods

i have a tick and am pretty sure it's a bent pushrod. the stock length is 7.375
i looked at comp cams and saw a 7.4'' long pushrod. whats the difference going to be? it'll open up the valves more right? can my stock LS1 springs (2002) be ok with that extra length in the pushrod and a 1.8 rocker arm upgrade?
thanks

No that would not open up the valves more. The different pushrod lengths are for the different size base circles on cams. If your stock length is 7.375 and you aren't planning on changing cams then buy new rods in that length.
