Just curious how many folks out there are running a heads/cam LS1 or LS6 and havent EVER broken anything on their valve train as a result of the extra strain. So if you have NEVER broken a spring, timing chain, thrown a rod, bent a valve, slapped a piston etc vote NEVER <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Never

Proper installation and break-in, good tuning and fuel, adequate warm up, routine maintainence etc have all kept me in the dry. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I had a spring break, twice. Nothing can prevent that. I merely started my car up, then pulled out of my driveway, and made it ~ 50 feet from my driveway and clackety clack.... here we come AAA <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Cool, so far the results look very positive.

Cam you guys add what cam you are running, and what your rev-limit is?

TR224 Cam,918 springs(bad batch)
I bounced off the 6600 rev limiter alot without one break age.Have over 40 1/4 mile passes.

verbs

Revved to 7000rpms hundreds of times, including launches.

987 springs, 8000 miles or so on the heads/cam package so far.

Car still has many more miles in front of it.

I spun a rod bearing on my engine after some 7100 rpm shifts with the h/c. However the bottom end was completely stock and had 70K miles on it. Right before that I had borke 3 teeth in the ring gears on my 4.10's in the stock 10 bolt.

How about we add how many miles have been put on the valvegrain & how long since installed, & how many 1/4mi passes...

I'd be curious who has the most daily driver miles on their aftermarket valvetrain.
