Re: Pre-2001 Rod Bolt Paranoia I'm not going to tell you "don't worry about it" but, I shifted my SS at 6,300 250+ passes at the track within two years and no problems, now, I'm shifting at 6,700 with the rev limit at 7,000 with still no problems besides breaking driveline parts <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> . Invest in ARP's if your really worried.

Re: Pre-2001 Rod Bolt Paranoia Ill take my chances with 6600rpms. Still it sounds like the you might as well pull the motor and change the bolts. If they break <img border="0" alt="[bomb]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_bomb.gif" /> the motors coming out anyway, but with costly repairs.

Re: Pre-2001 Rod Bolt Paranoia After installing the Hotcam last year I reset the rev limiter to 6600rpms and it sees that area of the tach often and no prob so far <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> .
