Default LS6 Heads milled .030 with comp cams cam what pushrods?

Is there any guide that you can use to determine pushrod length? I have .030 milled LS6 heads on my corvette and wondering if the 7.400" stock pushrods can be used?

I have milled heads the same as you but I have a thunder cam. It required shorter rods. 7.350 to be exact.

You should switch to 7.350's as mentioned earlier.

Is it possible that the valves aren't closing 100%?
