You need to measure for proper length.

Yes that's what I've read now, but is there any problems running stock length, or is there anyone running the stage 3 with stock push rods...

It doesn't matter what someone else is doing. Spend the $20 for the tool to measure and find the right length for your car

The answer to "what size pushrod" is always "measure".
