I have another thread roughly about the same thing, and I was told that these engines will reach and sustain 5350 +/- 20 floored in neutral.

Isn't the Bentley procedure to set full throttle RPM in part with the full throttle stop screw to whatever the stated max rpm for the given motor is? It's lower on the hyd motors seems like, they are all somewhere around 5K.I have another question along these lines. Am I the only one that almost never floors these things? I have never had one, out of half a dozen or more, all stock pumps mind you, that accelerated any faster at WOT than they did at half or maybe 3/4. Some of them smoked more with more throttle, but beyond a point they just don't do any more on a stock pump. This is NA mind you.I always thought it was odd people saying to tweak on the full load screw, and I never bother since I seldom hit it.What I'd like is, what feels like, less fuel cut at moderate but not FULL throttle. If that makes any sense.
I beg to differ on this issue I've always tended to remove the intermediate and preload the main for a bit more rev ceiling - but then I use a 1mm preload. In the other camp are those who shim 6mm into the main only. I can understand their reservations about driveability but 6 mm preload is a hell of a lot.After studing the linkage in depth - i'd probably go for the main spring in future, but not as prescribed.....
i shimmed 5 or 6 mm, and it works great. the governor on it now lets me turn more rpms than my gas GTI.

...you could experiment and tell us if it works or not
However I think that retaining a degree of springiness may be a good idea at the very top end, but when talk is made of large shims, surely the main is nearly coilbound anyway? Hence others just fitting a solid spacer and job done...
