    Push rods

    I just got a cam, 220/222 .581/.581 114 lsa. Comp recomends I get push rod PN: 7955-16. They're stock length. Is it really necessary for me to spend the money or could I get away with the factory push rods?

    Factory units bend and break. The length is fine they just can't handle the stress especially when you put good valve springs in.

    I had a factory pushrod slightly bent when I pulled mine.

    For $100 it's cheap insurance.
