How high can i spin?
How high can i spin? Hey folks! Just got some TEA TFS heads and a cam setup, and I'm wondering how high i can spin without breaking anything. Car is a daily driver. The setup:
ARP rod bolts
ARP head studs
ARP crank bolt
TFS heads
TFS 228/230 .585/.585 112 cam
Caddy lifters
TEA supplied pushrods
Harland Sharp rockers
LS6 chain
LS6 oil pump
What do y'all think? What can I spin reliably?

You'll be able to safely spin it higher than needed. Our setups are very similar. The differences are my heads are AFRs and my cam is on a 114. My car peaks at 6400. Just set your limiter to 7k, and try different shift points at the track to see what it likes. FWIW, I have my shift-lite set to 6700, so the shifts probably occurring somewhere around 6800-6850ish.

TEA uses a dual spring and are the Patriot Gold duals..they are good for more RPMs than you will need to turn..
Well guys the headswap is going well. At the present, the heads and removed and I'm about to clean the deck and move my attention to the cam area. My former auto tech instructor(just graduated HS) was a mechanic and loaned me over $1000 in Snap-on air tools and torque wrenches....what a badass.
Unfortunately, I have to go to college orientation for 2 days so the job is on hault until I come back.
Thanks for everyone's help and support.
