Default which adjustable pushrods to use?

Am doing cam change out and am replacing pushrods with adjustables. Which ones have been found to be the best for the TC 88 without changing tubes and having any problems? Thanks, Mark

I typically use S+S or Smith Brothers. Have had great luck with both. If you use S/E, watch for rubbing.

Depends which cam you're using.
If you can use your stock pushrods, they'd be best.
A solid pushrod will always be better than an adjustable.
I run the SE pushrods simply because they're $60 bucks cheaper than the S&S and the S&S are no better, and with my cam I had to use adjustables.
