Pushrod length with edelbrock heads.

I have some edelbrock performer rpm heads.
The engine is hydraulic tappet.
I will be using Crane Gold 1.6 Roller rockers.
Edelbrock site says;
"To use stock rockers on Performer & Performer RPM Chevy heads, .100" longer than stock pushrods are required"
Since the rocker arms are not stock, do I have to use longer pushrods or just stock length?
The block isnt zero decked.

I may as well say it, since someone else will....but best to get an adjustable pushrod checker and mock them up for proper contact pattern. COMP, etc (as well as this site) have posted procedures.

I may have to do that.
I thought maybe somone would have 1.6roller rockers, edelbrock heads, and hydraulic tappets on the board.
