Default Pushrod length opinions?

In order, 7.3, 7.4, 7.2, 7.25. Obviously between 7.2 and 7.25. I'm back and forth between 7.2 & 7.25. This is a gen 1 SBC, not an LT1 but more visible here. Also, what brand pushrods are guys running these days. My last set was Comp Magnums. I need 5/16" | .080 chromoly/hardened. I've heard good things about Trick Flows but IDK much else. Cam is an off the shelf hydraulic roller grind from Comp 08-422-8. 218/224 on a 110, .528/.535 on Scorpion 1.6s.

Thanks...

Yep, I settled on 7.2. Used to be a ouple places where you get a stock length set for guideplates locally but they've given up mostly on SBC GenI /II. I'm browsing Summit now, will look at the TFS units again. Thanks

I have a set of smith brothers hardened pushrods with less than 500 miles on them if youre interested. They're 5/16, .083 wall thickness, 7.2" length. Ended up being a tad too short for my new heads.

Dang. I pulled the trigger on another set on Comp Magnums the afternoon of the 6th. The set in my M6 has held up well since 2009 so I got what I was familiar with and would have ends machined identically to my length checking tool.
