The patent-pending XD-A Adjustable Pushrods incorporate a top section that slides two inches inside a wider bottom section, with one or two shims captured in-between. Proven to 9,000-plus RPM in solid roller LS applications, the system provides a 90-percent increase in bending stiffness for enhanced valve train stability. It also allows for lightening of a rocker arm system by 30-plus grams on the backside by removing the adjuster and required support area for threads and seating. The use of lighter rockers (such as the COMP Cams SPR Radius Tip Rocker Arms) with XD-A Adjustable Pushrods allows higher RPM to be achieved by creating a much more dynamically stable valve train system.
