Why Your Gen III HEMI Needs Stronger Pushrods from COMP Cams

Not all pushrods are made to handle the high RPMs that a modified Chrysler Gen III HEMI can dish out. A pushrod that flexes under elevated valve spring loads and intense revving can throw off valve timing. Upgrading to a set of high-strength COMP Cams Gen III HEMI Xtreme Race G2 Pushrods ensures stable lifter-to-valve motion and accurate valve timing across the operating range. Here’s how:

Engineered from premium 4130 aircraft‑grade seamless chromoly steel, the one‑piece, 5/16‑inch diameter centerless‑ground pushrods deliver superior stiffness over stock components, dramatically cutting pushrod deflection. Their .107-inch wall thickness adds further resistance against flexing under heavy valve spring pushback.

COMP Cams Gen III HEMI Xtreme Race G2 Pushrods have precision‑machined 210-degree radius tips that let the rocker arms clear even with the most aggressive high‑lift camshafts, preserving sharp valve timing and consistent lifter preload. Available in sets of 16, the pushrods have a durable black‑oxide finish that fights corrosion and helps retain oil at contact points.
