I am talking to my tuner, he said he can fix it but he has to take apart the car which I really don't want to pay for, but I guess it's going to happen, I'm missing 40+ hp because of whatever is wrong.

If you are running stock heads, i.e. 243's, haven't had them milled, and are using the stock gasket, with the cam base circle being that much smaller than the stock cam, and you saying you put in 7.4" pushrods, I would say as many others have, that your preload is probably 0. you might need 7.45" pushrids as that cam is pretty big. Just a guess. But it won't cost you anything to find out.

Thanks guys, I am running stock heads, my mods are
1 3/4 kooks lt headers/catless mids/160 stat/ported tb/k&n intake/cam
My tuner is calling me tomorrow, we will see what he says, I'd like to do this on my own and it being just as easy as buying/swapping new pushrods, but if it ends up that I need to degree the cam and not have "dot to dot" install type, then I am going to have to pay my tuner to do this
