why not more rpm? id rather wind them up than bog them down 6000-6500 is pretty easy with no rocket science involved

Yes, they are solid roller with higher spring pressure, but I never spin them over 4,000.

.135 are twice as much $600 vs $300. I know it's not a big deal long term, but damn I just spend 2400 of new rockers, about to order my Daytona Sensors CDI ignition so the winter fund is depleted.....!!

I cant believe you posted that..............:lolhit:

They made peak HP In the upper 6,000 RPM's, my boating style is just such that we cruise all the time and I almost never wind them up.....

It's no secret on this website that I'm a grandma boater and better suited to a Bayliner, but you have to run what you have.......

.80!? Are you running a 200hp small block? :whistle:
You have solid roller,and decent spring pressures , I wouldn`t be using some straw sized pushrods.
Put your big boy pants on and let`s get with going here .. and please don`t tell anyone else you don`t go past 4000 rpm. :angry-smiley-038:

I hate this website. The peer pressure can get the best of you.

Ordered the .135's......

I hear you. Just makes you think - just spent 700 bucks to have some rods that are 25 thousandths of an inch longer. What a terrible hobby.....

We`re all in the same boat thou
