you can get over 4000rpm with a 4k kit but if u dont have 60 pound valve springs bc you will float your stock valves at 3200rpm and if you are on a stock trans you need to work on that before u do anything else i learned the hard way the i also seen in your sig u said no fuel plate u need to put that back in the truck bc u actually lose power by taking it out u need to grind the foot off of it and slide it back but while u do this push the throttle and in the pump you will see a foot come out if that foot misses the plate u slid to far make it ti where it just hits it but not miss it

You don't always lose power.

O.K this is probably a stupid question but what happens if you float your valves?
