Get yourself an adjustable pushrod , Comp Cams make different sized ones depending on your application. What you want is the roller rocker tip to travel from the inner part of the stem (not the egde) to the outer part of the valve stem ( not the edge)! You want max lift to be right about the center of the stem! I lost my abiity to post pics but as soon as I get it back I'll post a pic!
