    with a cam of this size would my stock push rods be okay or do i need to change the length?

    Pushrod length is going to be more determined by lifters, deck height, rockers, and head thickness

    you need to measure...

    If the cam is th eonly thing done to the motor your stock length, 7.200" is "likely" OK. When you get the motor rebuilt and heads worked on where both were decked and run a thinner head gasket...than you most certainly need a different length, typically shorter

    bt again you need to measure with the RR ratio you intend to use

    I have used this, very simple and = same results as my conventional adjustable PR checker
