I've got a TFS stage 1 cam, and I'm ordering the Twisted Wedge heads. I know I need longer pushrods, but to avoid doing the trial and error stuff, I'd like to know if anyone has the same setup and what length you are using. I've been told that 6.700 and 6.750 are good starting points, but I'm sure that 90% of people don't do that trial and error stuff. Anyone have this setup and care to discuss?

Definetley get a pushrod checker. You want to make sure the geometry is correct!

I believe trick flow recommends anywhere from 8.000" to 8.200" for a starting point. Mine are 8.200"

It's a 302. I called Trick Flow and they recommended 6.700 or 6.750. I just wanted to see what other people were using. I can't afford to have the car down that long, because its also my daily driver and being the rainy season, I can't ride. I just wanted to avoid doing the pushrod checker tool and then ordering the parts. I was trying to skip a step...thanks for the input guys. I'd still like to see what others came up with though.

OK, now I'm really confused. I call Trick Flow and they recommend 2 different lengths. Then I do a little more in depth research on www.trickflow.com and they said that 6.750 is the recommended length. Hmmmmmmm.
