5/16 Hi-Energy Pushrods - 7.205 Long

The COMP CAMS 5/16 Hi-Energy Pushrods - 7.205 Long (part number 7808-16) are precision valve train components engineered for small-block Chevy engines that demand reliable, high-performance operation. These pushrods are a complete 16-piece set, providing everything needed for a full cylinder head installation on compatible small-block applications. Manufactured from steel with a 5/16-inch outside diameter and 7.205-inch length, these components are designed to withstand the demands of elevated RPMs and aggressive cam profiles.

The Hi-Energy designation indicates these pushrods are optimized for performance applications where standard components may fall short. The 5/16-inch diameter provides a balance between strength and weight, critical for maintaining accurate valve timing at higher engine speeds. The 7.205-inch length is precisely calculated to maintain proper geometry between rocker arms and valve stems, ensuring consistent valve opening and closing events across the RPM range. Steel construction delivers durability under sustained load cycles, essential when running elevated boost levels or aggressive street/strip combinations on small-block platforms.

These pushrods are intended for builders and engine shops performing valve train upgrades or full engine rebuilds on small-block Chevy platforms used in street rods, muscle cars, performance trucks, and marine applications. Whether replacing worn original equipment or upgrading to support a higher-flowing cylinder head and cam combination, this 16-piece set covers all valve positions. Proper pushrod length is critical—incorrect length compromises valve timing and can cause premature component wear, making COMP CAMS' precision manufacturing a key consideration for any serious engine build.

COMP CAMS is an established manufacturer of valve train and camshaft systems for domestic performance engines. The 7808-16 is a direct replacement or upgrade pushrod set for small-block Chevy applications, offering verified fitment and performance characteristics proven in both street and competition environments. When selecting pushrods, exact length and diameter specifications are non-negotiable—these components control the mechanical link between camshaft and valve operation.
