Predicting Valve Float
I would like to hear your opinion on when valve float would occur with a given configuration. I know this is extremely subjective but here it is:
Cam: 220/226 @ 0.050, 0.530 lift, 113 LSA
Springs: PAC 1219, 160 closed, ~320 open
Valves: Factory
Pushrods: One Piece Comp 5/16'' hardened
Rockers: Scorpion 1.5 RR
Studs: 7/16'' ARP
I know that rockers and studs are really that relevant but I would like to hear your opinions

You're absolutely right about the cam range. Peak power was right at 6100 so its a loss after. Although shift point wise by time the shift light turns on and I react I'll be closer to 6400-6500. Just wanted some opinions on when valve float becomes a possibility.
