Default Proper pushrod length

Well i finally decided on my setup and will be placing the order once I receive a call back from Texas Speed. For some reason every time I call I get the office is closed message no matter what time it is.

Basically I will be ordering the following and want to make sure I order the proper length to make valvetrain noise minimal.

TSP 5.3L stage 2.5 heads 62.5-63cc
Torquer V3 on a 111lsa
can't decide between caddy lifters and LS7 lifters

Is that all the info needed for the gurus to make a recommendation? Ive read I will be fine with the stock 7.4 but I've also heard 7.425 will work better. I just want to get it right the first time. I will be running stock MLS headgaskets also.

Get a pushrod checker. It's cheap and takes the guess work out before buying the wrong length.

^ +1, I agree. Nothing better then knowing for sure when assembling your motor instead of just guessing.

+2, when you measure and order pushrods you will get them quickly. I ordered mine from Summit and got them in two days while I worked on another part of the motor. Just plan accordingly.
