That was my point. All of the seaching I did on this forum and others I couldn't get a straight answer on the correct pushrod length I would need. So I figured that if maybe I started a thread asking the exact info I needed I would get the answer I was looking for.

this question is like the ole chicken and egg question. i asked and research pushrod length for ls6 cam in our motors and even the cam head guru's don't have an solid answer. most will say go for the 7.400's i don't think anyone has ever took the time to do any exact measureing. most just take word for it and go with that, then say its the right way cause thats what they did. i was dead set on 7.425's and wound up with 7.400's my rackety *** knock noise went almost away once i installed the new cam and pushrods. if you want to take time and bleed down the lifters and do everything perfectly accurate, then let us know what it is and maybe we can sticky it in big bold *** letters.
i had one company tell me to go like 7.450 and another tell me to go shorter than stock.

I have the same deeply haunting question with my new cam. Except it's opposite- I'm putting an aftermarket cam in my '04 LS6 engine.
Just measure the new cam base cirlce, pull the old one out, hurry up and put the new one in, and then measure the old one. Problem is that you have to wait to order your pushrods
