HArdened Pushrods
OK, got my Comp 212 218 .522 .529 114LSA with 918 springs on the road. Gonna try and get this baby installed in the next few weeks. I've decided not to put in titanium retainers at this time, because I'm sure I'll change cams later to something bigger and I'll do it then, along with a ported oil pump and a double roller chain. I do, however, plan on installing some hardened pushrods and want to know what most of y'all are running or recomend and where to get them, also how much $$$ did they run you. 7.400" is the correct size right?
TIA! Ryan

right now ... with that dam, you don't need them. If you are going to an XE-r lobe, or something with more lift, then you might consider them, but right now ... you don't need them.

Thanks for the opinions guys....looks like a split decision!! Nice poitn you brought up Steve, didn't think of that. Also, I'm really leaning towards rods because of what Big Tex said...seems logical. Oh, and Thanks Tiburon..back atcha'!!! How do you like the cam? Do you know what kind of RWHP you gained with it?
Still undecided on the rods though....I'm heading to TR to check theirs out!
