Think that bastard will still be happier spinning 6800-7000. Just do what I did. Get a Trex. If you have a lq4 it will fit fine. That's what I had with .040 milled off the heads. Not PTV issues and spins to 7k makin power all the way from 3500. You will not be disappointed. Your 799s will work fine milled.
