I've had a set of intense OR pushrods for a while now but I dont' plan on going to Roller rockers anymore. I do plan on changing shift points to 6200 though. I have a VS cam. Would stock pushrods be fine for or should I put new pushrods in. I only ask because I will probably go with lightweight rockers instead of the OR ones.
I don't plan on modding too much more, just a chip and maybe change my ported manis for some TOGs, and maybe a Ron Vogel TB.
INTENSE recommends OR pushrods for (iirc) 6500 rpm
s or better. You should check their site, but i think you will be fine at 6200 rpm with the stock pushrods.
I ran up to 6400 with the stock ones. You will be fine even if you wanna go faster and chose to sell them to antpearl
But if you put them in, I cannot imagine that it would hurt anything either. So, for no HP gain and all that work, I would ditch em
I got these, but because I was running 105 LB springs, and these are stronger than stock...I wanted stronger, and these were the only thing I could get at the time, now I know how to get them straight from the maker.
The O.R. will help your lifters stay PUMPED UP so you dont lose any lift from hydaulic lash. Or you can use the new COMP lifters.
Toss them in. They help you avoid valve float!
Do you absolutly need them-no.
Is your cam/engine still making power at 6200rpms?
