No, as long as you don't take it that high.

I just installed the 4200 RPM spring. The B*TCH is HARD to shorten. Took me an hour then Andrew (pulltilbroke) came over and did it in 5 mins. :roll:

I did enjoy the new found R's...

Here's a dumb question for yall ok if the ve stops fueling pretty much around 3000 what is the purpose of goin to a higher spring. I'm just curious.

That is a pretty shaky requirement. ;)

I know I never expected to tach mine out with a 3200 spring, considering I never really did it before, but I know I always end up on the governor now that I've got some more power to play with.

Thanks. So like anything as long as you dont drive it like a teenage boy its fine. Im getting dennys pump top so im doing it then. Wouldnt stiffer valve springs be hard on the motor on the low end and start up?

My power stops around 2800-3100 rpms according to the SOTP dyno. I think my lift pump is not keeping up.

I have for when I am going to be pulling/drag racing. I don't want the power stopping at 3000 so it can defuel. We will see if the idea works.

I don't have a tach, but my truck pulls right up to an obvious de-fueling point that is higher than it was before the 366. You could feel it slowly de-fuel before, where it now pulls right to it and de-fuels really quickly.

Stock lines with a LPLP.

Sounds like you need to reindex your throttle.

Please post a dyno sheet to show us what an "animal" your truck really is.

EDIT: Based on what you have listed in your sig, it probably does run pretty darn good.
