Adjustable pushrod material question
Andrews products offers adjustable pushrods that are made in either anodized aluminum or chrome moly steel. Aluminium is lighter but chrome moly is stronger. What is the recommended pushrod material and why? Does one want a lighter valvetrain or a stronger one?

As is so often the case with queries like this, it is well worth visiting the manufacturer's website, where we will find:
"Aluminum (T7) or chromemoly pushrods (EZ-Install type) are available to match any of our camshafts. Aluminum pushrods are lighter while the chrome-moly steel pushrods are more rigid for high performance."
I would use T7 ones myself, except in an extreme case.
