Max RPM for stock Vortec pressed-in studs?

[Mod77L]

Nevermind. I'll ask somewhere else where the folks aren't having a constant pissing contest. This used to be a pretty good board. Looks like that is over.

factory redline is round 6,000 rpm,..id say thats as far as id push it with out pins or screw in studs,...specially if running higher than stock lift cam,..you right bout the piss'in on here,..starting to smell bad too!

I would rather have 27 posts of pissing information than one wrong reply.

BTW you should state question with what cam/ springs, big difference.
Never mind.

Spring pressure would have a bigger effect then RPM, I would say abot 300lbs open is all your gonna get away with. Tap heads ( no need to drill) and use the straight studs with no hex, no machining required and can be done on the motor if you use a shop vac, or maybe grease on the tap while tapping.

Cam/springs will be dictated by the peak rpm/spring pressures the studs can handle. That makes sense, doesn't it? Why cam for 7000rpm when studs will fail after 6000? I had the basics listed, but since we started right out with such helpful information, I decided to end it early rather than let a contest from another thread hijack mine.

Thanks to dirty white boy and fast_crew for offering helpful info. (whether you agree with them or not).

Are the press in studs per rules or budget? I don't recommend using them if you don't have to, atleast pin them or as stated run the straight studs with out the hex.
