Actually, I thought was going to do some kind of appologize since last time I posted. I guess I'll do that anyway. Yes, and once again to thank for all kinds off input and help.

Anyway. After looking through the Crower camshaft catalogue, I noticed the cams were put up with a RPM "limit" following a +. Meaning, you can take them higher, sort of- maybe by changing the cam timing.

However. Crower also put up two different kits of valvesprings for these cams. One for "limited street use " and "68380X2-16 For rpm up to 8000 plus. Race only. Seat: 1.800" @ 197 lbs / Nose: 1.200" @ 470 lbs / Coil bind: 1.110"

This is the spring installed, although I did choose 1.85" installed height, which gives 173lbs seat.

I know I've been told otherwise- go 200 at seat. I will take responsibility if things go wrong, and even post a warning, yes.

Lets say... If installed at 1.8" height. 0,613 lift, will give height at fully open at 1,187" Coil bind is at 1.110. Will that be enough clearance? I think so. But what happens if I get a new cam with .925 or .680? There will be trouble. At least at .680.

Brent; It's been a pleasure discussing. Hope I some day get enough experience so we can really get into details.

Yes, I've been a real stabburn old man. And I fear I will be wrong in the end....
