"Are you saying if your combo needs more lift all we need is longer pushrods?"

No I am not, just saying go measure one with several different lengths and dial indicator or pull op Pete's old article where they did that and it will more than just a few thou either direction. It does impact it just as swapping to different rocker brand can even if the ratio is identical as they use different roller tip diameters, and different geometry for the pushrod cup height vs fulcrum and roller tip. I have measured total lift while checking pushtod lengths and it definitely changes.
