Push Rods Just got the car back from getting a WOT , pulled 418 RWHP , the tuner is wondering if my push rods are too short? Would that affect the lift of the cam ?

I had too short of pushrods when I first did my cam. It did clatter, when I went back to the same tuner with the correct length rods it didn't make any power change. So I second KCS opinion. Just more valve train noise and likely wear unless you really botched the length beyond the hydraulic lifters tolerance.
I have less lift in the cam grind but otherwise all the same upgrades as you listed. 224/228 .588/.581 @110+4 comp cam.

Lifter Bleed Off Hi Hugger, I ASK for the Noise Pressure AND RPM when this problem occurs ?
My experience has shown with High Spring Pressure, the Lifters will "bleed off" after 6200 RPM with Steel Valves.

I notice it when I am warming the car up, especially with the hood open . Oil pressure seems good , close to 50 cold idle never below 40 when warm. Exhaust is too loud to hear the engine when driving.
