Default Valve float sucks!!!

I thought the Patroit springs would be enough but I guess not. Tuned my new setup today and at 6200 it falls on its face bad. It appears to be valve float. Going to remove the Harland Sharps and install the stock rockers and try again Saturday. The cam has 615 lift and some aggessive lobes.

Hmm, sounds like the Harlan's are putting you over the edge. I bet the stockers will cure it. If not, it looks like you'll have to buy a Platinum PRC kit. How did you numbers look before they fell off? Still wanting to see how you do so I can compare mine.

I don't have a scanner
Beast, I sent you PM. Your setup is alot nicer than mine. You have better heads and intake. Some day maybe I could afford a fast 90.
Did you get your gasket problem fixed?

It's been doing good so far. We'll see when I throw it on the dyno I guess.
