ARE REV-KIT???
I'm trying to absorb as much info as I can about Cams, so I started pulling out the back issues of some mags.
GMHTP ran a story on their ARE Heads/Cam Silver 98 Z28 that included the use of the "ARE REV-KIT" that allowed safe operation up to 6700 RPM. Basically, the kit applies spring pressure to the lifter by squeezing a sprung pair of billet plates into the lifter valley. This prevents the lifter from the leaving the cam lobe and floating the valves. Does anyone know anything about this?

Most applications call for this mod with high lift cam and solid lifters.

Yes, I have used one. It worked fine. Helps keep the lifters in their bore to a greater extent on hi revs and roller cam. Less chance of a float when your spinning hi and the vavletrain builds momentum to go the other way.

I am running a 6800 RPM fuel cutoff on my 2001 with dual valve springs (MTI), hardened rods, stock rockers, 'big' valves, and a 222 .566 cam. No issues.
Sure is nice having the added range up in the power band.
