With hardend pushrods would the springs that come with the hotcam be ok to rev to 6600rpm on a regular basis? If not what would the max safe rpm be?

The springs that come with the hot cam are LS6 springs. I'm not sure how high you can rev them, but I could think 6600 should be OK. I dont know how much hither I would go though. Do you have a hotcam? does it really need to rev that high?

sleeperz28

I'm getting one. Just want to know if it will be ok if it does benefit. My rev limiter is set that high right now.

I've had my revlimiter set to 6600rpm with the Hotcam, LS6 springs, and stock pushrods for over a year now with no problems. I get my best times at the track by shifting as close to the new limiter as I can.

billws6formula do you have any tuning other than hypertech? My car cam with the hypertech tuning but not the tuner. Have yo had any problems with hypertech. Only thin I notice is that on hot days at the track with a stock motor I get knock retard causing me to lose .3-.4 in the 1/4. Does this timing help with the hotcam?

BillWS6Formula

Right now I'm only using the Hypertech for the revlimiter, speed limiter bump, and 4.10 gear change. I do use a MAFT as well, but that was to adjust for a rich condition after adding the FLP longtubes.

I had a hotcam a few years ago, had it for like 2 years with the springs it comes with and hardened pushrods..ran it to 6500 rpm countless times in that period with no problems.

I have my hotcam rev limiter set for 6500. It never really peaks, just platues...
