Im going with EX612 springs, comp-r lifters, 1.6 comp pro mags, and LE2 heads.

I plan on spinning to ~6750 and currently have comp hardened pushrods. Do you think i need to step up to chromoly prods? I was thinking about the trickflow ones. Are the Comp chromoly ones any better than the trick flow ones?

THX,

by hardened you mean the 28$ set, the anwer is yes.. I have seen three sets of those bent or broken over the past year in cars that had more than stock spring pressure and were spinning high revs..

for my head and cam install I went with the thunderracing pushrods, slightly cheaper than the CC ones but for some reason looked identical.. once you get into the 100$ per set range I feel there is not enough of a difference to worry about unless you want to buy different sets and compare weight..

 

The ones i am looking at are the Trick Flow 7.2" chromoly ones.

The link is Trick Flow Pushrods

 

those will work fine..

 

the way I look at it.... pushrods are the weakest link in the top end of the motor...... I'd upgrade to chromemoly just to be safe

 

I have run the Trickflow's thru 3 setups and two motors in my Impala SS with no problems
HVY SS

 

Just bought some trickflow pushrods for $76.50 from summit.

Anyone need some standard hardened ones?

 

should have asked me friday, I bent a stock one into the shape of a question mark at the track spinning only 5k ;[
