God dam thing comes loose with some hot a sweaty rev limiter action. One intake valve on my ls, thought maybe I didnt get it tight enough when I did a adjustment but I just reset it and its getting loose again in 20 minutes.  :mexi:

Either way fucker will run. Should have heard mine at the dyno day thought there was a diesel in it.

Short answer locktite. Not the heavy shit just the medium had to do that to my old ls worked fine.

The cut off was at 7500, but I'm not the kind that hit the cut off just for fun so I would say between 7000 and 7300.
