Correct me if i'm wrong because i'm am a noobie to all this valvetrain stuff. The intake lift on the Torquer V3 is 0.644" and the Exhaust lift is 0.598" now if you where to go with to short of a pushrod wouldn't that stop you from getting max lift? max lift on the intake meaning more air in, max lift on the exhaust meaning more air out. all in all more horsepower right?
well like you asked will you loose lift if i went with a shorter pushrod like the 7.400? i want to check mine but if i order them after i ck i could be a week before the vendor gets them to me! i want to get the cam in and ready in a day or two.

I'll have new numbers once the weather clears and I can take care of the +11% fuel trims. I will do that on the street and then head back to the dyno to tune for spark and WOT.
I think you'll like the T3.

when you measure for correct p-rods, make sure they are sitting on center of valve stems. use a black sharpie and blacken valve stem where rocker will be sitting on. with adj. pushrod set at 7.400 and rotate crank several times, loosen rocker enough to move so you can see where it was rubbing on valve stem. you will need to perform this several times till the wear mark is as small as possible on center of valve stem. you will need solid lifter and/or special spring so hyd. lifter will not collapse while rotating crank. keep in mind you will need some pre-load on lifters so what I did was add .025 to my p-rods and valve train is quite. this worked for me!! hope this helps some....

if you got the stock size(7.400) now and hear valve ticking (sewing machine) and install 7.425 I think you will be very happy. I was. I didn't hear any ticking, only cam lopeying 
plus alot of peeps would tell me this is a very quite (sewing machine) LS1 they have heard .

You wont be dissapointed. Don't go WOT before you get a tune, however. I was at +25% on my LTFT's. Running very lean.

I put that cam in a camaro and the owner brought me 7.350 push rods. The car seems to run really well and the engine sounds good. Is there possible power being lost with the shorter push rods?

i know i seen some pretty good number in this post but shouldn't this cam be in the 400 with just a cam? and be in the 440 range with those st2.5 5.3 heads? am i the only one that thinks some of those numbers were low for heads cam cars?
strange that most of you are getting lower numbers than most others with the torquer v.2 and same heads. those guys have been netting 406ish rwhp and 375ish rwtq
is the v3 just the same cam but gives you a little more at a lower rpm?
