Thanks NINEBALL A while back I posted a topics asking if I had KR or not, and put a copy of the dyno run.
KR or Not
You took a look and said it was the ever popular valve float all the the LS1s see.
Well you were right on the money.
LunaticTA and I just finished the CAM Install and Valvetrain upgrade using the Rev Double Springs, Rev Titanium Retainers and TR Harden Pushrods.
IT SOUNDS GREAT !!!!
I finally can take it to 6200(6800 once reprogrammed) with no clatter.
Thanks for the great advice. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Re: Thanks NINEBALL Does valve float get worse with time? My dyno graph looks like a little kid drew it... I know partially cause of the vig 3600, but I have a dip like that also, and I'm loosing alot of top end now at the track (have lost 5mph).
I think in my case it was my own fault though..... 6600 shifts via HPP3 when I first got the car and new nothing about cars.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
Hopefully some heads and cam will fix my problem

Re: Thanks NINEBALL Unfortunately my car has always had the valve float. The stock springs must have been just to weak. The new ones are definitely stronger.
