after about 5200rpm.
Don't know the max ratings on the lifters, but i've turned Hydraulic Rollers
close to 6800 before (5.0L SVO Block though).

The Powerband drops quickly after 5000rpm. Why take it to 6000?!? >>
Whose drops off quickly at 5000 ? Mine pulls strong all the way to 6000 and
if I leave it in drive and let it shift normal 5300 1 to 2 and 5000 2 to 3
then I lose about 3 tenths ?? I wouldn't do it if it wasn't helping out.
When I do this on the motor I am also using stock ignition other than the
blaster 3 coil and plugs gapped at .045, supposed to be .035. If I push 6000
to hard I have gotten a miss but shift 5900 and not a miss. I do use the MSD
when running juice without any problems.
Have heard of any know lifter problems from reving 6000 ? I've only heard
rumors and theories ?
