I have heard that using the RR's from the hotcam kit are fine and you shouldn't have to change pushrod length unless you have had the deck of your block shaved down or your heads milled, then you would need to go shorter. Lucky for me I have a 95 and my car came with hardened pushrods 
I am gonna be running the LT4 hotcam 1.6rr's, beehive springs, and my stock length pushrods with the GM847 next month. I'll let you now how it works out.

I'll let you now how it works out. didn't hear any of you mention the lifters, I'd recommend something better than stock with this cam, not sure if Comp fixed their junk CompR's yet but Crane and Crower make an 847 cam spec'd hyd lifter.
I'm using CC918's and Comp pushrods on my 847. If your rockers are SA then you need to go with the 918's do the will clear. Theres not many springs that will hold likw them and still clear the sides of a SA tip. I'm using new stock pump and stock injectors too. No need for that other crap unless you got a crap tune or big spray.

well i was thinking of upgrading my fuel pump(255lph) and injectors to 36lbs..... i wanna try for 400hp.... i'm thinking about going with the CC918's.... and comp pushrods.... i think the rockers should be ok.... i eventually wanna run a 100-150shot...... so yeah....oh and lifters i'm gonna call crane cams to see what they say.......
I'm just repeating what i've heard from the man. Ed Wright Makes 513/580 raw rw in his LT1 on a stock pump and the A/F is perfect. He Told me to replace the stock pump when it starts to go with a new stock pump and i'm using stock 24#'s on my 355. Just tryin to save you some money. Do what you want
