Need advice, soon to be installing AFR 165's

It looked like the adjustable pushrods on the site TMOSS suggested were actually intended for normal use, not measuring. Maybe I am wrong?

Yeah, I have heard good things about TFS pushrods. I was considering TFS heads before this awesome deal on the AFRs came up.

As for the fuel pump...yeah, I am trying to do all of this in stages. I am trying to see how far I can get with stock (thanks to engine management of the AFM PMS) fuel, then up the pump, lines, rails, injectors, and MAF. A main reason for this is that I am still torn between going stroker or doing a power adder...or both. Either way, there will be different needs in terms of fuel with each setup.

You only use the adj pushrod to check it, then measure what you have and order the correct size. I find the 1pc chrome moly TFS pushrods to be very nice.

Smith Broths offer some very nice pushrods... They do a lot of custom stuff.

Right - and SB often has lengths in between the steps of others for about the same price - you just have to check with them on the length and lengths close to what your ideal is.

The only thing I have to add is- why buy a used cam when you can get a new TFS stage 1 for like $100???

Where can I get a TFS Stage 1 for $100? Cheapest I have found, from Summit, is $160. Let me know where you are finding such an awesome deal!
