Default valve spring questions.

i know its been asked before but i'm asking again lol.

how do you know if you are getting valve float? when i was racing the mustang it seemed like it took forever to get from 5600ish to 6000rpm where it shifted. soon as it shifted it felt like i hit a small shot or something just started pulling way harder again. was this probably valve float? i had no KR and fuel was good at that point. if it was valve float could i get by with just lowering the shift point for now. as i don't have money at the moment for springs. i didn't feel it in first but first goes by so fast it would be hard to tell anyway.

Maybe your truck was feeling good about itself and just wanted to make an *** out of that stang, lol.

Or your fuel just leaned out and made alittle more power.

I like my 1st answer better.

You tend to get rich, when approching valve float. I would lower the **** points down to 5500RPM. Turbos don't need big RPM to make power. My truck runs alot better shifting at 5200RPM than it did at 6000RPM. How much boost are you running?

Ya my truck lays over past 5200RPM with this .68AR. With the .96 housing it would go 6K but ran best with 5500RPM *****.
