XDP 7/16" Competition Performance Pushrod Set 98.5-18 Dodge 5.9L / 6.7L Cummins
As boost pressures increase, more load is placed on your stock pushrods, which can lead to them actually bending, causing severe engine damage. Upgrade your pushrods with these direct replacements for superior engine strength.
In high performance and competition applications, the factory push rods are nowhere near adequate to handle the stress from increased cylinder pressures, valve springs pressures, and higher RPM. Just because you don't see physical signs of failure with your existing push rods does not mean they can handle the power of your modified Cummins engine. This is why the XDP Competition and Race Performance Push Rods feature a 7/16" diameter as an upgrade over the 3/8" diameter of the Street Performance Push Rods.
The XDP Competition and Race Push Rods are handcrafted in the USA to stringent specifications. They feature a 7/16" diameter and are built from only the highest quality seamless 4130/4135 chromoly tubing that is cold drawn over a mandrel to increase rigidity and reduce flex. The tips are CNC machined from 86L20 bar stock that is core hardened and triple tempered, providing increased impact and wear resistance. These materials and procedures not only extend the life of these push rods, they improve performance of your valvetrain.
While the Competition and Race Push Rods were designed for high horsepower applications, they can be used in stock and mild applications for those who like to go overkill or for anyone that has bigger plans for a future build, but needs to upgrade their push rods now. The 7/16" Push Rods can handle around 1500HP and are an excellent valvetrain upgrade on stock to extreme engines.
