What Does This Do?
Stock HEMI pushrods are adequate for stock cams, but aftermarket cams with more lift and higher RPM put more stress on the valvetrain. Comp Cams' chromoly pushrods are heat-treated for significantly more strength than stock — they won't flex or bend under aggressive cam profiles. This set is stock length, which works for most Stage 1-2 cams. If you're running a Stage 3+ cam with significant lift changes, you may need custom-length pushrods (measure with a checking pushrod before ordering). The set includes all 16 pushrods (8 intake, 8 exhaust).
