Big Props to Andy!! That little trick was what I needed to set my mind at rest. Just for craps and giggles, I also tested the "stock" length pushrods and if that had been the length I went with I would have been losing around 20 thou in lift.

MY first initial estimate was too long though. A few tips to make the test go way better, especially when the car is cold from sitting in a cold shop, vs the air being all warm around it from the shop heater. After coloring the tip, blow on it for a while. The dang ink wasn't drying during the previous tests and I was smudging it all over the place. Dry ink, leaves such a nice mark! On the adjustable pushrod, a little white paint (or white out) on the top (near the rocker) and the bottom (near the Lifter) made minor adjustments so much easier.

Off to the local speed shop to buy parts....heck yeah! Thanks to all for your help!
