Thread: Safe max rev on SRXXVE cams

Guys, what about 20V spring/retainers? How stiff the springs, how light the retainers? I know 20V valves much lighter then 16VE/20VE ones, so anyone know 20V spring pressures?

Knowing 20V cams to be aggressive, I suppose 20V springs must have much pressure then 16VE/20VE. But who knows...

Snickers? Miko?

I didn't look back on Snicker's comments. But I remembered he said they were safe to a very high rpm.

I'm not sure, but who really is? Given that sr16 springs and sr20 springs are different in a lot of cases, you never really know what is truly safe. My sr16 springs are lighter than some 20ve springs, and prob cannot handle as high of rpms. I will be investing in springs instead of cams, and will see where that takes me. At least I will be safe no matter what cams I run huh?

The crazy part is i have a basic set up.... I rev my N1's to 9200 Rpm out of 1st...... seems like theres more power and pull to be had and made by tuning..... it doesnt feel strong @ all shifting around 8500.... I can spin a good part of 2nd taking it past 9k....

this is because your putting the car way up higher in the rpm range on the 1-2 shift and more into its peak tq. most n1 cars setup right make peak tq in the 6k-7k rpm area. if your still using a b13 tranny 8500 will drop you around 5k-5.5k and 9k+rpms will be around 6k rpms. you more than likly unless you have a custom intakmanifold and a sweeet 4-1 header make less hp after 8k than you do from 7.2-7.8 your just over coming that with the way 1st is geared.

i kno im late but i accedently went 8600 rpm last nite on stock ve cams and and springs,, lol all i can say is fail!!! think i floated 3,, and i cant find anywhere to get replacements

yea i spun my engine to over 8k one time with stock cams, scared the shit out of me.. but nothin happend an shes all good, cant say i'd wanna do that again..

I wouldn't run 20ve cams higher than 7.5k; however, when I was w 20ve cams, I brought it to 8.5k a few times.
Lent to car to a family member, and it went to 8.5k numerous times.
Still running hard after 2 years.

lol i dont like lending my car out to people unless they know what they are doing an have appriciation for what i have..

the whole reason i got my gf a VE for her G20 is so she'd stop asking to drive my car... my friends told me horror storys about Mrs. Andretti over here..

yea its officiail,, ive lost compression in 3 indication of bent valve,,,, kno where i can get em @?
