    Lt4 springs are too weak for stock valves, stock valves are heavier than lt4 valves. Listen to video for float

    With that being said. Then helping him select the right springs to use with stock valves and the LT-4 hotcam and a decent set of roller rocks.

    With that being said I have had the hot cam kit on a mild 383 with no trouble spinning it to 6000 often.

    Scorpion 1.6 roller rockers and crane dual spring kit or lunati spring kit will be good
    @Camaro96 not trying to be that guy, but it has been proven and beat to death on other forums, the kits valve springs are notoriously weak, and the float happened on mine right at 6k, then a gmpp rocker failed and 2 others were in process of failing after about 5k miles total. Went comp pro mag and crane dual springs and never had another problem

    Sound like you have had more experience with having failure from the kit. Come to think about it when my heads were ported &polished and the heads recipe ed a 5 angle valve job the valves were replaced with lighter valves.

    Just want to help fellow enthusiast.

    As do i. If lighter valves (similiar in weight to lt4 valves) then the valvesprings can be used. But they were still a weak spring. Good chat.

    Op the cam is only $245 on summit, you shouldve kept the rockers you just sold.
