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

Is it possible to turn 12,000? Don't bet against it. Have I ever seen one,no. But then I've never seen air either,and kind of depend on it. If I built an engine that wound that tight making usable power,I certainly wouldn't tell the spec's down at the local pub over beers. A closed mind learns little. Hank

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."aerodynamics are for people who cant build engines"

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....Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

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.

Are you sure you don't have a six cyl or 4 cyl tach in that thing LOL.
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.
