Nascar engines use how aggressive of a cam? Its far from slightly and they dont need huge notches like that. As GTP said....its direct injection. Willing to bet it has something to do with the injectors.

And that would cause a giant pushrod for one side how?
A 224 cam is slightly aggressive and uses a stock lenght push rod...

I know I should drop this but I can't stop being eaten by this. If the cam profile was aggressive enough to use a push rod length other than 7.4" it would be a shorter length push rod due to the cam lobes being on a larger base circle.
I have to stop there as anything else will prolly get me ink
