I have a problem in my powerband from 5400 to 5800 it doesn't want to rpm but after that it will rev cleanly again. I have a 383 with a purple 484 cam advanced 4 degrees ( I know that's not right - had wrong spec sheet on install ) stock 516 heads 9.5 compression, stock rockers, MP electronic dist. locked out at 35 degrees and an Edelbrock rpm intake with a holley vacuum 750 with no spring in the secondary ( I tried springs but to no avail ). I have rejetted and no luck, I changed valvesprings to MP heavy springs 250 seat 350 open (way more than this cam needs)no luck either. A racer friend says I may have lifter pump up, but the solution it adjustable rockers $$$ and maybe different lifters too. If I do all that I may as well blow even more money on a monster cam, which I don't want to spend all that now - I need heads first.
