Arrow will i have to change my push rods?

Im putting a LT4 hotcam with springs in my L98. Am I going to have to change my pushrods because of the length or anything?

Thanks

Josh

Im not sure on the length changing,but upgraded chromoly push rods are a VERY good idea. I wouldnt want to spin stock stuff up to 6K RPM's.

I agree. Best to check the valve train geometry. Also upgrade to the chrome molly pusrods as was stated.
