So you think 146 lbs /in on the seat is OK?? I think this is totally the wrong way to go for a street hydraulic cam under .500 lift. I can't understand why anyone would think this is a good idea.
Yes, I do.
In fact I just had a customer come in for me to fix a bent valve and replace an exhaust seat from too little seat pressure. Spring surge can't control the valve, piston meet valve. Bent valve now beats the snot out of the valve seat.
Try to explain this to a customer that thinks because he's only revved it to 6000 2x in 15k miles it should be ok. Seat pressure means very little, base circle of the cam doesn't much care.
