This is why I have a 6500 rev limiter on my car.
![]() The bone-stock exhaust holds me back, but the guy who built my engine said that with an open exhaust 7500 rpm would be no problem. ![]() Just remember that you're sitting on the power train warranty every time you get in the car. ![]()

-------I dont know what cam you are running, but when we built Red Alerts motor we built it to make its power at 7000 and it was a race car that weighed 3900lbs and ran in the low tens. Engine dynoed at 765 at 7000rpm. Any faster than that would peal a tenth or two off. What you were doing may have been fun but I cant believe it was optimal! Please dont take this as a slam. Its not intended that way, but you had to be out of your RPM band. I would be interested in hearing weather you felt the engine flatten out up there or not. If its a factory spec cam it would start to run out of steam around 6500. Also, what are the specs on the cam you are twisting?............Bill S

7800 is impressive but without proper valvetrain thats really dialed in (particularly on a bbc)I dont know if i'd try it too many times.

Bill, yea.....UR right. The cam is dialed in for 3000-7200. But, I tell you, at 6800 in 3rd (T400) the damn thing had my head pinned to the headrest and was still pulling!!!
Luv those cubic inches! ![]()
