I just wanted everyone to know I just got in from racing the space shuttle and I won. EASILY. My motor now goes to 22,000 rpm's after I loosened up the valves a little.....although I think I have a ticket coming because I ran the toll on the milky way........Burt
Now that is an obvious bulldust statement :p
But what the heck !;) we are all a little nuts in here today:LOL: :LOL: :LOL:
Hopefully it's 3 phase, they run a lot cheaper!!!!:LOL: :LOL: :LOL:Quote:

Well to be fair he did say that the stroke was under chevy 302 which is 3", I think 2 7/8 was mention for this motor under discussion.
My only worry is how does the valvetrain hold together at high revs. I can figire reving that high with a missed shift going down the dragstrip, a quick blip up there and backing off.
Hank,go back and read post #130.Quote:

Good, you are back Scooter.
At least we did not drive you away.

12,000 RPM isn't impossible, all the F1 cars run at least that, and many of the CART and IRL engines are bumping it.... But consistently with a flat tappet cam in a small block that still is making usable horsepower up there??? Put me on the doubters list....
F1 is pushin 20,000 rpm's on some of the straightaways... put me on the doubters list for makin that much power as well. Why do you need it to rev that high, why not be happy w/ 7,500 or so rpm's.
Bump. Still waiting for specifications for 12,000 rpm's.
You might be waiting for a while.:rolleyes:Quote:

Just kiding, My old tach sure did look good, it had the wire removed in the back of the chip to read a six cyl rpm rather than 8 cyl so my 7000 rpm would show 8750 on the tach.
