9.15" it is.
I re-checked my pushrod length using 9.1", 9.15", and 9.2".
9.1" gave me a pattern about center.
9.15" gave me a pattern just to the exhaust side of center.
These checks where with a hydraulic lifter pumped up and a week check spring.
My thinking is with my lifter pre-load added in, 9.15" should be just about wright.
Watching the rocker arm move through its stroke, 9.1" seemed to give a more even movement looking closer to 90deg at 50% lift.

Any one have a good set of 9.15" pushrods with at least .080" wall for sale?

"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.
