No Pat you don't have to sit in the corner.
Just think about all the guy's who claimed to have 11 sec. car's.
Funny thing is when they went to the strip all they ran was mid. 12's.

I turned 8000 on Hydralic Lifters a few years ago. My street car will probably go 7500 RPM.

No "Story".

I don't think you guys believe me, but, a good 283 with the 151 cam and dual four barrels will really scream. Just set them up right and off you go.

My 65 Chevelle 4 door wagon would go 8000 rpm with hyd lifters. Starting line rpm was 7200. Those short stroke engines will really buzz.

I posted pics of my 57 and the wagon in my photos.

Bob.

Yup, I believe ya. One of my Mav's had a 289 and did the same thing, but it was with a steel crank, aluminum rods, mechanical roller cam, triple valves springs, stainless tulip valves, moly roller rockers and balanced to with a knat's butt of perfect....

I doubt anything less then a real radical built sbc is going to do it a lot of times without gernading....

If you are refering to the 350 horse 327 cam in a 327 it was done making power by approx. 6000 rpm's .In a 283 you might pick up another 300-400 rpm's after that you might spin the engine tighter not making any hp until you will float the valves.
