Default Which pushrods to get?

I'm pretty sure I have a bent pushrod, as my engine seems to bog at launch, my dyno is lower, and sometimes it seems as though something is rattling in the exhuast. Am I making a correct assumption?

And with this in mind, which rods would be the best to get? I heard some people saying to stay away froma certain kind, but I forgot what it was. Can someone give me some insight?

If you are running stock valvetrain, I would replace the bent ones with stock ones. Check the classifieds on the boards, I remember seeing someone selling a couple of set of ~$10. It's alot easier to replace a bent pushrod than a bent valve.

Buy the CompCams 7.400" moly pushrods. They are one piece and have a .080" wall thickness. Summit sells them for anywhere from $ 125-135.00

Why wait!

Yeah, it's probably best to stay stock until I replace everything else (and cheaper I'm sure).
