Question Should each Pushrod run exactly parrell to the one beside it?

Should the pushrods be going parrell to each other, I am not sure, but it looks alot like mine 'V' slightly, being slightly closer to each other at the bottom and slightly further apart at the top.

My setup is this:
Crane dual coil springs (good to .730 lift) with Comp locators, isolators, and locks.
Comp Pro Magnum 1.6 7/16 Roller Rockers.
ARP Hardend 7/16 Rocker Studs
ComboMotorsports 7.2 hardend pushrods
GM Guideplates (soon to be replaced by ISKY adjustables)
and Comp R lifters.

Anyone know if that sounds like normal, or if something is way off?

Normal. If you look at your rocker arms you'll notice they're not exactly straight either. Main thing to be concerned about is your geometry, where the rocker, (roller in your case), is contacting the valve stem. Should be right in the center and can be verified pretty easily with a felt tip pen by "coloring" the top of the valve stem, setting your lash and then looking at the contact pattern.
