    XPZ says it requires two different length rods. One for intake and one for exhaust. and then does say you can toss 1.7's on top ofit.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    It looks like on ZZP's website they make it sound like that can only be done with their Stage 4 heads and the comp cams rockers...I have the Yella Terra rockers wich use the longer pushrods.

    Stock pushrods are 7.050
    Yealla Terra pushrods are 7.300 IIRC

    Not sure why you think that you can just run any rods with any setup. You make it sound like anything but stock rockers will make the valves float instantly which is crazy to me. Why is it that several people have done cam/rocker combos in the past and show no signs of valve float....

    If you feel like you have to use crappier rockers to decrease power, then just measure out the difference in pushrod length to stock and adjust accordingly. I was able to make a set of custom length pushrods for fairly cheap... ordering a set shouldnt be a big deal.

    At the end of the day you are still just adding complication and reducing horsepower though.
