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!
