I don't mind high revving, but asking a question...have you ever driven a car that "only" makes power above 4000 rpm...the low down sucks for driveability BUT as you said, the car will be at the track most of the time anyway. Good luck, hope nothing frags on you with 20k invested or more!
Seems to be the right software, that from ProRacing Sim. It's probably worth the investment... I have driven, but never owned, a rev-happy car. I stalled it a couple of times before getting the feel. It would be a pain in the @$$ in any city with traffic. Luckily, Reno has none to speak of. And, I hope to be driving through larger cities only to get where I am going...the track!

Haha! Yes, it would be ashame to torpedo an engine. I have been thinking that perhaps I should build a basic 350 before getting into exotic components for that very reason. Blowing up should be less expensive that way...a cheaper lesson. We'll see how I feel about it, once I have all of the components figured out. Ultimately, I may turn chicken (pragmatic) and drop the parts off at the local hot-rod house. But, at this stage, I don't see the task as insurmountable. Thanks for the link and the good wishes!
