Default Hydraulic cam guys spinning over 6500: Questions for ya!

Anyone spinning over 6500 with a hydraulic, here are the questions:

How high have you spun it at the track?
What valve springs are you running?
What spring pressure were you shooting for?
Where did the combo peak on the dyno?

i was spinning to 6800-7000, but found my car like the load of around a 6500-6600 shift point.
on the dyno, mine made power untill 700+ but i let out at 7000

heres my setup.
(whatever springs come in the AFR's) good gor 600 lift. I run a small *** cam.
spring pressure was about 130 if i remember correctly.
i know its on spray, but you asked.
for what it is worth also, i didnt just buy afr's and throw them on, i had them done, and checked, but with a cam like mine. 58? the springs where mint.

I cannot believe I have to explain to a mod that this is in the wrong section. lol

I spun my old heads cam setup to 6800, and knew a few others around here that spun to 7k.

6700
It's hard to say where it peaked because the turbo choked off.

How high have you spun it at the track? 7000
What valve springs are you running? Comp 977
What spring pressure were you shooting for? 150/450
Where did the combo peak on the dyno? 6600

I'm wanting to try 7200, and then 7400.

What spring pressure were you shooting for? TEA set up the heads. Sheet says 150.
Where did the combo peak on the dyno? torque-5200, hp-6250

The 987's were run for about 5 months na. I took the heads to a local shop for freshening up after an incident with the first turbo run. All but one of the springs tested less than 100, many were blue/burnt. Replaced them with PRC platinums but haven't put the car back together again yet.
