    Scooter, with the springs recommended for this cam by Crane, the valves will float at 5,600. This is not a high rpm cam because his static compression ratio will not support a high rpm cam. If you want to rev the motor higher with this cam, you can install stiffer springs but the increased pressure over the nose of the lobe would probably wipe the cam out pretty quickly. Not only that, but you're out of cam in this case by 5,000. It's all about the combination Scooter. If you want more cam and more rpm's, increase the static compression ratio.
