There is no reason to take this kit to 6500rpm. u will max out @ 5500-6000. I shift @ 6000, have pretty big HR and my power drops off after 6000.

I seriously doubt wheteher that valvetrain can handle 6500 all the time. This is an entry level kit.

I've got those heads and I'm going to have to upgrade the valvesprings when I put my Victor manifold on; not worth taking the chance of floating the valves and tagging a piston

I agree. There is no reason to take that kit above 6000 rpm as it will fall off hard at that point. I ran the same kit and never shifted above 6k.
