Well the tachs in these cars are SLOW. So you could have been ALOT higher then that. The pushrods are only about 110+shippin so there is no reason to risk it. That and the stockers really arent up to even stock loads. Like hard acceleration and what not. So they prolly have small bends in them which flex on every bump of the cam. It is a easy install. GL
