Comp roller lifters also? I use them with DOVE roller rockers who make the roller rockers for Comp (same). The Comp roller lifters have a 5/16 cup, I used Crane pushrods that are 5/16 ball and 3/8 cup at the top. They are 9.125 or 9.180 long, I'd have to check, it is a standard length & part number for roller applications. They are also a thicker wall tubing specificaly for roller cams and high spring pressures.
One thing you need to check is the 3/8 cup are a little large, it can interfear with the adjusters on the roller rockers on some applications (high lift and/or too long a pushrod) and if there aren't enought threads showing on the adjusters below the rocker body. You only want a few threads showing below. On the top of the adjuster, the you want the un-threaded portion above the lock nut (or the top of the threads even with the top of the lock nut basically).
You can carefully grind a small amount off pushrod cup to help clearance if needed. If you have milled you heads and/or block, deep valve job or long/short valves, shimmed stands to correct geometry, etc. you can have a different "stack" height like Ken is talking about. That is where the pushrod length checker is nice and custom length pushrods aren't a whole lot more expensive if needed.
