After Market Pushrods

caladash · May 6, 2013

Anyone have any experience with Trend Performance push rods? Of all the issues of Diesel Power I've read I finally decided to pay attention to the insane amount of ads in the back. Came across their ad. Any input?

For the price why? Can get hmax cheaper than that. I'd go di there nice and are around 200 bucks.

Didn't say I was getting them! I'm actually going with smith brothers. Just curious about them.

Great pushrods in the gas world. If you buy Comp or Trick Flow pushrods for a gasser, you're actually getting Trend Performance pushrods.

Smith bros is made in my home town...

DI it is then!

I have ran and installed both, but DI gets my vote. I have never had a problem from either, but I like the look and build of DIs.

my smith brother's seem to be quite a bit stronger than the factory rockers LOL

My wipeout pushrods have been good to me so far.

What spring are you using? Possible coil bind issues??

comp 910's but I didn't have enough shims under them to account for wear, and there were a couple revs over 5k that the rockers didn't like......
after reshiming the valve springs and setting the rev limiter to about 4600 I haven't had any more issues.
