It's a matter of how much valve train maintenance you want to do and how far under you want to run and then gear accordingly.
Mike, saw your car leaving on the IHRA live feed from Bradenton, looks good!

The 9000 plus comment by Mike is correct but I do not want a package with such high maintenance.
My first design had a 6.0 rear gear and a cam design for under 8800 RPM. About the last 150 feet it was just buzzing along. My second build has a 5.86 gear and the cam has 2* more lobe spread. In addition, at least 70 pounds lighter. A large part of the fun for many of us is constant experimentation.
