Hey GS,
With the limiting weight factor of the lifters, you'll blow the engine
before you bend the pushrods. I've taken mine to 6000rpm with the Mopar
.080" pushrods. Can you say SCREAMER!!! :'B

Does anyone know what Mopar's roller rocker kit will move
the redline to? The kit includes .080 pushrods and new
guides. I already have this installed but never really
thought about the limit (I've been to 5300rpm) with no
ill effects.
