i modified my installed height on springs that came with my air flow research heads (chrome silicone dual w/dampner)they look low quality to me.came up with 140# on seat and350 open.cam is ultradyne flat solid 550 235@050 advanced three degrees.what RPM should these support?i know there are other factors,but with 6600 rpm chip in shift lite she is all done

Kevin,

It isn't the springs that are holding your engine back. 6600 rpms with that cam and your stroker is about as good as it gets. You need a bigger bumpstick to pull higher.
