i know if i go with a larger cam i need diff. size pushrods, and i noticed the LT4 hot cam kit doesn't come with the pushrods, does it reuse the stockers, or is the same deal as any other cam

With that cam you will still be able to use 7.2" pushrods which is the stock length. Always check pushrod length with a pushrod length checking tool just in case. I believe the '94's have hardened pushrods from the factory so you wouldnt have to get new ones please someone correct me if wrong but it doesnt hurt to get some new hardened chromemoly ones like the Trickflows that costs about $87.

Yea mine is a 95 and I am pretty sure that it came stock with hardened pushrods.
The only time you need to have a different size pushrod is when you either have your heads milled, have the block decked, or use a small base circle cam. There's probably more but thats all i can think of now.

small base circle cam are mostly ground for stroker motors where cam to rod clearance is necessary.
