Tuner can adjust or disable the DOD. However you will want to put in some LS7 lifters because the lifters they come with stock can't handle after market cams for too long.
7.3xx pushrods but I'll have to go check the actual measurements in another thread in a bit.

Yes. There are several threads going right now where the 7.4's are either causing a tick or eating up the lifters.
The LS7 lifters are a little longer than stock.
Here's a thread that F4tal found

If you use Ls7 lifters you'll want to use 7.35 pushrods.

oh definite change of pushrods but i have the hardened 7.4 should i just sell these and get the 7.35 then?.
trying to keep this short instead of stealing this thread but i think it could be helpful to all DOD cam swaps.
