GPI 5/16? Hardened Pushrods for LS1 / LS2 / LS6 / L92 / LS3 / L99 - 7.325" Length - T7325805
High-Strength Chromemoly Pushrods for Precision LS Valvetrain Builds
For any LS-based performance upgrade, hardened pushrods are essential to maintaining valvetrain stability and reliability - especially under high RPM or when running aggressive cam profiles. GPI's 7.325" 5/16? chromemoly pushrods provide outstanding rigidity with their robust .080? wall thickness and one-piece construction.
Each pushrod is fully heat-treated and built with chamfered, drilled oil holes designed to minimize stress concentrations and reduce the likelihood of cracking. These upgrades make GPI pushrods ideal for performance street, strip, and endurance applications.
Perfect for Custom LS Geometry Requirements
While the standard pushrod length for LS1, LS2, LS6, L92, LS3, and L99 engines is 7.400", many modified valvetrain combinations require shorter lengths. The 7.325" size compensates for valvetrain changes that increase lifter preload or alter rocker geometry, such as head milling, aftermarket lifters, or camshaft base circle variations.
To verify the correct length for your specific build, GPI recommends using the Comp Cams adjustable pushrod measuring tool. For around $20, it eliminates guesswork and ensures your valvetrain geometry is spot-on.
What Affects Required Pushrod Length?
Several internal and external engine variables can change the pushrod length your LS build needs, including:
- Block deck height
- Head deck height
- Head stud boss height
- Rocker arm design or brand
- Camshaft base circle diameter
- Lifter design, brand, or seat height
- Valve stem length
Because these can vary widely from engine to engine, never assume the standard length will work. Proper measurement ensures correct preload, smoother valvetrain operation, and improved longevity.

FAQs
Why would my LS build need a 7.325? pushrod?
Build variations like head milling, lifter changes, cam base circle differences, or rocker geometry adjustments may require a shorter pushrod to achieve proper lifter preload and sweep.
Are these pushrods suitable for aggressive camshaft or high-RPM use?
Yes. The chromemoly construction and .080? wall thickness make them ideal for high-RPM performance and demanding valvetrain setups.
