Ordering Pushrods. Which Brand?

I'm getting the 7.300 for my setup heres the list.
Comp = $35.95
Trick Flow = $84.50
Crane = $109.95
Lunati = $135.98

One of my friends had a Comp bend on him so I'm leaning away from that brand. summit doesnt seel there brand for Hyd Roller.

Comp has 2 different grades of push rods. The lesser ones (the ones you refer to) are a relatively small step up from stock. The others are similar to all those other brands in quality and price.

Whether you really need the others depends on the rest of your setup; and on whether the very limited choice (mostly stock ones for various motors) in the cheaper line has the right length for you. IIRC the 7809, the stock one for roller systems which is probably the part # you got a price for, is actually 7.290" long, not 7.300". Their premium product comes in .050" increments over a very wide range including 7.300. I use those, except I always seem to need lomger ones; IIRC the ones in the motor I have now are 7.400". They cost about $90-$100.

Jegs hooked me up with some Crane hardened ones for about 30 smacks. They are hardened for use with guide plates. I think they were called energizer series or something but don't hold me to it.
