Default Pushrod Length

I currently have an Ls6 cam and pushrods and am upgrading to an F-13 cam. My question is should I use the stock legnth pushrods or the slightly longer Ls6 pushrods? Any help would be appreciated.

X3 on wanting to know. I've been hesitant to install my '04 LS6 cam because of this. I have a set of 7.45" Trick Flow's. . . is this the correct length?

I don't know what length you will need, but the LS6 pushrods aren't longer the valves are. From the smaller base circle and the stock length valves of your head, I would think 7.425" but to be sure you need to use a pushrod length checker.

+1 on the pushrod length checker.

Ok, I sent Allan at futral an email and he said this "If stock heads\valves, you will need 7.425" length pushrods." This is for the std lift f-13.

7.40 here with my F13 cam The looser you can have your valve train in your car the faster your car will run. Good Luck
