What springs were you using? Id bet spring life woudl be be more of a problem than checking a solid cammed engines clearances.Ive had several sets of 853's rev to 6400,no prob,no valve float,now 6500+ with em is a diff story!!I will be using the 885's,I will not rev it to 7k as im iffy pushing a Buick that hard,just what Dan said...
I do not like solids,as it sucks having to adjust them(i know maintenence but im lazy)
With all the $$$$ parts on this thing and no class restrictions with weight and such,I dont see why it couldnt run 150mph....
