Comp ProMag 1.6 rockers, might as well stick with comp on the pushrods, stock length stock diameter chromemoly hardened or titanium pushrods, dont remember if its an a4 or m6 but a4 you dont have to worry so much even if you do spray, m6 get stronger, just incase you mishift

Hey saw this post and thought I would comment. I used new 7808-16 p-rods on my new stroker build. CC306 Cam and OEM new lifters. Yesterday I bent 2 Push rods on the number 8 cylinder at 4500-5000 RPM in first gear thought I threw a rod or something. Literally scared the crap out of me. Anyway what now chrome moly rods. guide plates? any recommendations?

I used those comp cams hardened rods ($36.95) when I installed my cam and they have been working fine. It doesn't sound like they are strong enough for a stroker with a large cam but they should be fine for your engine which sounds basically stock.
