cam is done about 5700 anyway, so any rpms past that isn't a big deal for me
i am chipped to 6200, have gone to 6400, but can tell after 57-5800 cam is done (should say my combo is done with peaking/increasing power as Rpms go up) (its "windmilling")
i dont experience any valve floating issue
if i go more lift i'll need to change springs
but supposedly these springs are good for hdy/flat/hyd rollers
mine are 10+ years old now
Sounds like it should work for my combination as well... Butler said they would recommend going with the stiffer Edelbrock 5845. Still I'm not to happy to change the springs, but better now than later. I guess my cam will have power up to 6000 or maybe just a little bit more.. But however, I'll keep my limiter at 6000rpm or maybe go up 100-200rpm depending how it feels on the strip.
