well i do not think.. i know as to get a engine to rev fast has not much to do with the crank stroke . i built 4.00 4.250.4375.4.500.4750. and the 4.750 crank engine i have jumps to 8000. very fast . lite mass .but why do you need a fast rev engine ? i have built the stock GM tall deck with the 4.500 crank and thats the way i would go less you have a older block thats not cut out has much for the rods then maybe a 4.375 crank .but for a 2000 more you can build a 632 or 598 with a BIG BORE some times i get the 10.200 deck blocks world or dart .that have lost a piston nothing to bad some times they need a bigger bore to clean up there running them in a class were they can not go bigger on CID and they will not reuse a block . or sometimes they need a sleeve . i do not have any thing at this time when i get them i fix them and they move very fast

I am looking at late 1970's & 1982-1992 Camaros.

I would like to build a Pro-Street Show/Cruise(Not Street Race)/Race machine.

I figure 2900-3300 lbs w/o driver, ladder bar, 4.57-5.13 geared Dana 60 w ARB Air Locker, 10-14 point rollcage, TH400 Transbraked w/Gear Vendors OD & 3200-4200 stall convertor, chromoly drive shaft, 15 gallon fuel cell for engine, 5 gallon spun aluminum fuel cell for N2O, 31-18.5-15 MT ET Streets.

[A 502 block (std bore forged 4.468 pistons 12-13:1 cr), 6.385 forged rods, forged 4.25 inch crank, an Edelbrock Victor R-Port Tunnel Ram, Twin 850 E-85carbs, Victor R-Port Heads, solid roller cam w 112-114 degrees of Lobe Seperation] would this 533 CID be able to grunt out 700-820 HP on the motor(a 496 on pump gas with aluminum heads & 10.5:1 CR can make 680 HP off the Bottle)?
