Smile need some Push Rods

anyone have some suggestions, on a good set of push rods.
I am running 8.5 rocker arms. and i am going with 918 springs at the moment, but I might upgrade to a bigger spring depending on the serverity(sp) of the lift on the cam, that will come in the future.
anypart numbers, and price would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Daniel

You need some 7.4". Eather the Comp Cams or the Thunder Racing will work fine in there. I paid $110 for my TR pushrods.

Someone at Thunder told me they get their chromoly pushrods from the same place Comp does, and that they're the same rods. Not sure if it's true, but that's what they told me.

CC also grinds all the Thunder cams ..

Thunde, for what it's worth .. you should stick with an XE lobe (low lift) with those 1.85 rockers, because the XEr lobes will be brutal on the rest of the valve train.

I'm with Flyer. Most cams with much lift recomend not using 1.8 or 1.85 rockers. What kind of setup do have in the works now. Tryin to get the 4.8 into 13s N/A?

well I was looking at the xtreme RPM high lift cam on a 112 LSA
but was going to try and keep my valve lift under 550
figured this would keep me from hurting anything.
Futural had sugested a 208/212 as being my best choice, and a 210/214 being the biggest,both on a 113 l\s. Both cams will clear w\o any problems.
But I dont know and havnt been researching very hard.
but now I am looking and need to get this straightened out.
so what would be better a 112, or a 113 LSA.

Now that you mention it, they told me the same thing when I ordered mine. It was only a $10 difference between the two.
