Default More Torquer 2 questions:)

ok i want to know from guys with experience with this cam. What length pushrods are best? If i go with this cam and do a 112+2 LSA on it will it still be lined up Dot to Dot? Also i'm putting in 243 UNMILLED heads and a .040 gasket to up compression a little but will my PTV clearance be ok? I'm using a LS2 chain setup so i won't be able to adjust there. Also the pushrods i wonder if are the right length as i already bought themi'm kinda new to the cams and Predator-Z is the one that suggested a 112+2 LSA. I'm just makin' sure it'll all bolt together ok and not have any PTV issues and still make the most power. Thanks a ton.~Cole~

All the mods going in:
LS6 intake
243 Z06 heads w/ PRC double springs
TR 7.4 pushrods stock length
ASP underdrive pulley
TSP longtubes w/ Offroad X-pipe thru B&B

thanks guys. i figured the stock length rods would work. Also i'm thinking i may have the heads stay unmilled and then just go with a thinner gasket. i'm guessing with a +2 advance and that gasket setup i'd be fine since i've read it should be. Thanks a bunch guys. maybe somebody else has something to add~Cole~

i've been told by many top tech guys that there is PLENTY room with stock unmilled heads and stock gaskets that's why i'm wondering how much i can push it with a thinner gasket~Cole~

PVT clearance will be fine. Don't ever guess at pushrod length. Buy a pushrod length checker and do it yourself. I recommend using a .040 Cometic headgasket. Helps quench and boosts compression a little.

We're going to run the Felpro .041 with a 65CC 243's and this cam.The base circle on Comp version of this grind needs a 7.425 but with the smaller head gasket the 7.40 works fine.
