are you asking about length or steel vs. chromemoly? For length you need to get an adjustable pushrod and measure because every set up will be a little different and you NEED chromemoly of you are running guide plates which judging by the cam specs im guessing you are

any you guys are all using hydro rollers? i have a solid roller and i just dont want the rods to deflect or brake b.c of the strong spring pressures
