Are these pushrods stronger than stock?

I would assume 383 and stock valve train ?


I have been running these for five summers now in my 383/432 with a Comp XE 275HL camshaft and factory valve train with Edelbrock E Street heads

COMP Cams 7402-16 COMP Cams Magnum Pushrods | Summit Racing

Pulled the valve covers / valve train this past spring to look everything over
Couldn’t bee happier with how everything looked

I have a 400. Same difference though. Those are twice as much but I need them to last. You should post a review; it only has 1 star.
 
Look these up on ebay from Rick Ehrenberg or any 5/16 chrome moly.

The keys to a pushrods strength are Material and wall thickness.
Your example is stated as being "steel" but I couldn't find any info on the wall thickness. Not a good choice in my opinion.
The others pushrods mentioned were both chrome-moly. That's good.
The comp cam 7402's are stated as .080 wall thickness. That's pretty good for strength in any mild cam street driven car.
The third set only mentions "Premium heavy-wall" so you are supposed to guess.
Also extremely important is what top RPM you expect to achieve.
