Im not too worried about valve float, there's new double springs on the heads and new exhaust valves. I'm more worried about one of the rods deciding it wants some fresh air and taking a trip outside...should I be worried? I mean 2,000 rpm equals about 40 lbs of pressure, so I'm just seeking advice.
As far as the cam...no clue, it's over stock, lopes, and makes 10 inches of vacuum and likes 12 degrees of advance. No idea where it should be though. One time I took it to 5,500 it was still pulling...earlier I went to 4,300, at which my dash rattles really bad, so I'm over here fearing the dreaded ping. I was hesitant to take it further, I guess I'm not entirely sure of my skills...-1967 Ford LTD 2 door Fastback 390 C6 Ford 9 in.-

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
