Randy,
You are incorrect. It especially affects punched steel (non roller tip) rockers. When you use a long pushrod it brings the short side of the fulcrum closer to center effectively increasing rocker ratio. It affects roller tip rockers less because the tip radius is much smaller compared to the pad on a punched steel rocker.
