[QUOTE="mustangmike01, post: 16585140, member: 37101"] Yes I know these engines can take 700 to 800 all day that I have seen on here. I thinki hes playing it save and thinking of engine life and longevity. He said any v8 can make 1000hp but the question is how may pulls will it last before a rod says hello. I ment valve springs. He did say it's time to replace the valve springs. I did look around and with the valve I have it seems right. Its a job I can't do and its laber crazy. Steps he told me unbolt the cam gears from cam and leave behind and remove cams from head. do one cylinder at a time. Bring piston to top dead center then pressurize the cylinder through spark plug hole to prevent valve from dropping . Them compress valve spring and remove keepers . Remove valve spring and replace . It's super time consuming buy that's how it's done. He can do it in the car an without removing the blower and front of the motor. Now I'm thinking should I do some cams I have hit the rev limiter three time with this motor. To me nothing comes good about dancing on the rev limiter. [/QUOTE]
