Sounds more like valve float to me. The Unilite is acurate to 8000+ rpm.

that cam you have should be all done by 6000 it might pull to 6500 .....your valves spring are more than likely holding it at 6000. Check the cam card for the rpm range....

Yes, you keep doing that and you can launch a pushrod or worse, drop a valve and ruin the whole engine!!!
