because twist wedge heads arent an inline design like stock heads are... TW's NEED a longer pushrod

^^^i understand the thing about the heads im just saying that im almost positive that stock pushrods are too short for his setup . i knew a guy with a stock bottom end stang with afr 165's and a trickflow satge 1 and if i remember right his were 6.3-6.4 something...

and u said that it was almost dead center was it more to the outside or inside and rollout there talking about run it around a couple times to see as where it is all the way through the rotation...

also, by centered, i didnt mean side to side, i meant top to bottom, it went from what looked like almost center, maybe a little above at no lift,and was basically centered throughtout the motion not like left to right, up and down on the valve stem

Your looking for rollout between .050-.060 thousandths wide, meaning once you color the top of the valvestem with a black marker and run that rocker through 2 full cycles, the width of the mark left by the roller tip should be less than .060 thousandths of an inch. If the rocker is centered but the rollout is .100 wide, thats no good, if the roller tip seems to be a tad forward or a tad behind the center but rollout is .060 or less, thats your target. 6.2 seems awefully short, especially on a stud mount head
