That's two things now I need to watch out for... First being my cam is just going to seize one of these days due to low rpm and now because I don't have shaft mounts with a SR application I am running an unstable valve train... OMG WAT 2 DOOOO!

You dont NEED shaft mounts. BUT...anytime, with any cam that you can add valvetrain STABILITY, whether it be rockers, stud girdle, bigger pushrods, bigger studs. There is usually a gain in power.
You should ALWAYS buy the best valvetrain components you can afford, or save up and buy the best. No matter what the cam is. There is always more power to be had with better(IE lighter) components in any engine application.
In the instance of the valvetrain, lighter more stable parts mean better life, more power and less maintenance.
I have 6500 miles on my setup with not one problem, minimal maintenance.

Maybe with some of that stuff you could run in the 10's??????????????????? What does your 396 run anyway?
If you READ and COMPREHEND what I posted, you really would understand.
MD your car ACTUALLY runs a number, but as I stated. Its proven that the better valvetrain stability you have, the more power you will make. IE 3/8 over 5/16 pushrods....almost always will make more power. Not on some ***** cam like SSRRR's. But a real camshaft.

I got a huge week long cruise I go to every year in Oct, after that I am pulling the trans, sending off the converter to get it loosened. I already have the 4 hole TB. I need to get the hat for it and a throttle cabe setup. Need Tunercats to retune it. It will be this winter.

So what other doom and gloom are you going to preach on how SR's just blow up if a billion dollars is not spent...

Dunno. Will find out sometime soon.
I know exactly what you stated. You stated by default if you go w/ a SR setup then shaft mounts should be required and a hp gain will be had by default. Now it's time for you to "READ" and "COMPREHEND" what I said.
I like my ***** camshaft. Reason being is the valve train is stable w/out having to go to shaft mounts like your manly camshaft. Oh yeah, I'm running ***** 5/16 pushrods too. I can't imagine TEH HORZE POWERZ I'm losing.

I predict an 11.70....if you can drive. 150 shot might put you in the 10's LMAO.
I SAID its better if you do those things, you dont HAVE to as MD is an example.
I also run 5/16 pushrods, no real room for a 3/8. BUT I would make more power with a 3/8 no doubt in my mind. Its pretty much a proven fact a bigger pushrod makes more power....WHY you ask? More stability, thats why.
SInce you know so much SS RRR, why doesnt your car stand out? How much power does it make? How quick is it? I see you knock alot of guys on here....why is that? Are you and Capricemgr brothers?

So does anyone know how much HP/TQ I could gain?
Correct me if Im wrong but the OBD2 F-bods can get about 7200 on the factory PCM, and obd1 maxes out at 7k? What Would I have to spin to to make it worth while?
My current valvetrain is TFS guide plates, Manley hardened CM PRs, Patriot Gold Dual springs. LE2 heads with Manley racing valves and Comp Cams High tech Stainless Steel Pro mag rockers. Any of this reuseable?

Does the factory PCM cut-off at 7000 or does it go static? I have read both versions.

AC HOTROD, with the advent of hyd roller technology today the gap has closed between the two.
BUT there is more AVERAGE power to be had with a solid over a hyd, but if you make the dive, dive all the way in.
Your guideplates and rockers can be reused thats about it. Possibly valves if they are long enough.
My power peaks at 6500.
