PushRods Hardened Steel vs Chromoly
I have guide plates, 308 lb/in rate springs w/ 295 lb vlv open pressure.
I like 5/16" OD ball end PR.
Would be nice to buy the cheaper hardened steel push rods.
Any comments?

The 5k makes me think no big deal. From what I've read chromoly is more for high rpm engines. You can also consider the idea that Ford used to build factory engines that would pull higher than 5k with just hardened steel.
On the other hand, for $50 bucks...

Anytime you use guide plates you have to use hardened pushrods. If you use anything else the rods will wear on the guide plates and eventually fail.
