I want to be able to spin it to 9k with no fear of top end issues. Bottom end I havent handled yet....as is apparent, but my hands never went into the bottom end. Sooooooo who knows what happened.
From what I have seen in the top end we have accomplished that however and am thrilled at that.
As far as normally spinning it that fast , no, but I want it to be capable.
Like my bonny friend was saying yesterday when I was just amazed at their vid of a run in AA (500 ci and bigger) and they were only 505, twin fans, and running it mashed out to 9500 for 8-10 or so miles ? I was stunned at the motor, I said how do you build a motor to do that, over 250 miles long run more than half over 200 ? He said "Its easy, you build a motor for 2000 hp and run it at 800....."
Building a motor to be capable is nice, and when I want to Ill know it has it. If I end up in a heads up........limiter goes up. I wouldnt do that if it were "unknown"
And Irv, with the bottom ends in these that might be the weak link. The heads are capable with the right shafts and springs/retainers. My stuff is all ligther than the stock dp stuff (less having to replace the titanium retainers)
