If you had let’s say a ideal geometry working with a 1.5 rocker and you switched to 1.65s which moved the cup .050” closer to the stud, then a .050” longer push rod should get you back to having hood geometry.

With my HS they took the same pushrod. And I'm betting RAIVs were just longer because of the longer valve not the pushrod cup and the stamped rocker.
