Good call on the stock pushrods, Mike. Even with clearance-ing =C2=A0of ho=
les, there is no real reason to use tubular pushrods. I've had them bend ju=
st as readily as stock ones. I've had the same stock pushrods in my now 10+=
year old race engine for seven years without any issues. The benefits of g=

you I am beating my motor harder than just about anyone on the list. Redlin=
e oil and proper clearances are key to extended life at 8000 RPM
